Thanks for posting the Hass link. I can’t believe the reviewer compare the new poems to ones that were written almost 30 years ago. I don’t Robert is the same person he was in 79. The new poems were published in American Poetry Review and I enjoy them.

I haven’t seen the new ones so I can’t really comment, but I didn’t really “get” the excerpts I saw.
