Hillman on Hass
Check out this short essay by Brenda Hillman, where she discusses “A Supple Wreath of Myrtle”, her “favourite poem” by Robert Hass. The poem, which “suggest that the daily and the heroic are always intertwined”, is featured in Hass’ 2006 collection Time and Materials, winner of both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Both Brenda Hillman and Robert Hass will be joining us this Friday, March 27, 2015, for a free public reading in Concordia University’s room EV 1.605 (1515 St Catherine), at 7 pm.
