Now and Then

The collection showcases the revival of poetry in daily newspapers through Robert Hass's "Poet's Choice" column, which ran from 1997 to 2000. Featuring both renowned poets like Wallace Stevens and Robert Frost, alongside emerging voices such as Jaime Sabines, it highlights poetry's relevance to contemporary events. Accompanying essays by Hass provide deeper insights, encapsulating a pre-9/11 world while celebrating the timelessness of poetry. This work serves as a poignant reminder of the art's enduring significance in everyday life.
