Robert Hass- America’s Poet Laurete

I wish I had the knack to write a good poem.  I’ve tried, but I’m just not very good at it.  A few have this special gift to make words flow and dance across the page.  Robert Hass has such a gift and he has become one of the country’s most well read poets.  Hass has won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and he has served as the poet Laureate of the United States.  I caught up with him at a recent reading down at Tulane University, my law school alma mater, a few weeks ago.  Check out my interview below.
