Robert L. Hass (b. March 1, 1941) is a Californian poet whose works are well-known for their West Coast subject and attitude. Hass was born in San Francisco. Encouraged to dedicate himself to his writing by his older brother, Hass grew up with an alcoholic mother. (His mother's alcoholism was a major topic in the 1996 poem collection, Sun Under Wood.) Awe-struck by Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg, among others in the 1950s Bay Area poetry scene, Hass entertained the idea of becoming a beatnik.
