Now and Then: The Poet's Choice Columns

From 1997 to 2000, former Poet Laureate of the United States Robert Hass wrote the nationally syndicated column “Poet’s Choice” which featured poems relevant to current headlines written by well-known poets as Wallace Stevens, John Ashbery, and Robert Frost. Now & Then is a collection of these columns that serve as a symbol of the continuing importance of poetry in our daily lives and a celebration of poets whose work transcends time.
