Belongings: New and Selected Poems

Margaret Hasse was among the remarkable 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.
