English professor and poet Robert Hass scooped up the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for “Time and Materials.” The announcement came out today, and Hass shares the award with Philip Schultz and his book “Failure.”
Hass previously picked up the National Book Award for his most recent work, and now he can add a booty of $10,000 to his growing recognition. He is the third current UC Berkeley professor to win the Pulitzer (the two others include history professor Leon Litwack and former J-School dean Ben Bagdikian).
This semester, Hass teaches English 131: American Poetry and a poetry translation workshop, which he will again lead in the fall semester.
There’s also a webcast (though fairly dated, from 2003) of him reading his poetry before “Time and Materials.”
