rkable generation of young poets who came of age in the 1970s and 80s with the publication of her first book, Stars Above, Stars Below . Forty years and many publications later, she presents us here in Belongings with a retrospective look at her multifaceted achievement along with a generous selection of recent poems bearing witness to a tirelessly curious and creative mind. These poems remain rooted in events of daily life--reading a book, taking a child to the bus-stop, gardening--events that Hasse may ponder and describe with a startling sense of whimsy or a deep moral concern. Often both. The result is a rich tapestry of "belongings" that extends from cherished personal memories outward into a skein of relationships as rich and vivid as life itself.
