A Little Book on Form by Robert Hass

A Little Book on Form by Robert Hass

From the former U.S. Poet Laureate, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winner, an illuminating dissection of poetic form for students, enthusiasts, and newcomers alike A Little Book on Form brilliantly synthesizes Hasss formidable gifts as both a poet and essayist.

“Hass is so supremely learned about and so deeply immersed in poetry, he is able to comport himself not just with incredible authority but also with casual humor. . . Disguised as a reference book, this is actually a friendly tour of one poet’s mind.” — New York Times Book Review
