Presents Robert Hass' first retrospective collection. "Allows us to trace the development of the narrative voice he began cultivating most powerfully with 'Praise'. The new poems show Hass at the height of his narrative powers. Hass' work derives its strength from how it challenges both breath and line. Few are the poems in which Hass doesn't push his breath, and ours, almost to the point of breaking. He tries to get every word he can into each line, every detail he can into each poem, as though if these feats are possible, then it's also possible to save some part of the world from dissolution" (Publishers Weekly). "What is to be done with our species? Because/ We know we're going to die, to be submitted to that tingling of atoms once again" (Robert Hass).
