The Apple Trees at Olema

Grounded in the beauty of the physical world, "The Apple Trees at Olema" is a collection of poetry that explores art, nature, desire, family, love, violence, and language. Robert Hass's unique style combines intimacy, intelligence, virtuosity with long sentences, and sensual vividness. This collection includes his first five books and new poems that meditate on personal relations in a violent world, presented like small, luminous novellas. His work has been highly praised, and he is a poet who personifies what it means to be alive in a particular place and time.
