Eliot, and even through an unlikely fellowship between Kentucky poet-priests. Told through various essays and lectures, \u003ci\u003eThird Commonness\u003c\/i\u003e is as much a book of literary criticism as it is a sprawling exploration of poetic heritage. Hass weaves these histories together with the boundless hand of a writer inseparable from modern American literature. \"Here it is, this stretch of it,\" he says. Sometimes there is a requiem, other times--a romance or a political reckoning. Always we return to poetry, which encounters itself over and over again, beckoned into being by some \"propelling force.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Hass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556597282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556597282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Robert Hass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520785924351,"sku":"9781556597282","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1c1eb4b-3c67-4e22-b0f2-ab9658b2da5e.jpg?v=1762887059","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-third-commonness-robert-hass-9781556597282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
