American Poetry Review Robert Pinsky: Improviser of Poetic Images, Sounds and Desires Thadine Franciszkiewicz Articles in this Topic Discussions in this Topic May 18, 2002 Born in 1940 at Long Branch, New Jersey, Robert Pinsky is the eldest of three. During his formative years, his mother experienced a serious accident where she hit her head. The years after the accident deeply affected Robert's life. He refers to various family incidents that occurred in his poetry. Often it is the expression and sharing of the common that gives Mr. Pinsky's poetry such universal appeal. The poet writes of the common trials and tribulations of life. The writing about family history expanded into the larger realm his community (as in the poem "At Pleasure Bay"), to society at large (as in the poem "The Shirt"), to even before this century and land as in "The Inferno of Dante". Robert Pinsky was appointed the ninth Poet Laureate of the United States (1997-2000).

    Rabbi David Wolpe on robert pinsky s The Life of David , about King David.  
    http://www.beliefnet.com/story/176/story_17687_1.html
    
    Extractions: David is the most complex personality in the Bible, with the longest story. He took over the kingship of Israel after the demise of Saul. The life of this shepherd boy, whose great political achievements included pushing back the Philistines, moving the capital to Jerusalem, and consolidating the kingship, makes for a fascinating story. David was a warrior, a lover, a disciple, a leader, a sinner, a musician and poet, a powerfully conflicted father and husband, and a leader whose impact was so powerful that he remains the fountainhead of messianism in the Jewish and Christian traditions. In Jewish tradition the Messiah is called "Messiah, son of David," and the longest genealogy in sacred Western literature is the New Testament's genealogy to prove that Jesus descended from the Davidic line. The twists of David's life make for a powerful novel (most particularly "The King David Report" by Stefan Heym) and some persuasive scholarship. This may be why

Former Poet Laureate of the United States, Robert Pinsky, spoke to a group of 45 poetry-lovers on September 27 at the residence of the Deputy Chief of Mission Larry Silverman. His major theme was that poetry is a very personal experience, but one that is available to all people regardless of how much or how little you understand a poem on first hearing. A short video, prepared as part of a project initiated by Pinsky, showed how poetry speaks across gender, race and age lines. The evening also featured the unique Slovak sound of a traditional reed instrument, the fujara, performed by Rasto Andris and his group in a modern way. All poems were read in both English and in Slovak translation, leading to a lively discussion from the largely student audience. Poem - The Want Bone

    Extractions: Poetry and Education: Introduction: The week of April 7, 1997, Joyce Wilson and Robert Pinsky participated in this interview, which was conducted through email. Pinsky is Professor of Creative Writing at Boston University and was recently appointed U. S. Poet Laureate. JW: Dana Gioia, in his book Can Poetry Matter? , has stressed the need for poets to critique other poets. After your first two collections of criticism, The Situation of Poetry and Poetry and the World , both greeted with considerable acclaim, will there be a third volume? Do you agree with Gioia that it is important for poets to write criticism? Has the success of your poetry kept you from writing more criticism? RP: In The Situation of Poetry a young poet tries to make theoretical room for the kind of poem he likes and wants to write. That is poetry in relation to poetry, and it turned out to be a book that was read. In Poetry and the World I tried to explore what seemed to me the greatest omission of the earlier book: poetry in relation to the worldly world outside poetry. I'm not sure I have a subject of equal importance to me for a third book. Maybe some day. JW: Yet many poets that I know are hesitant, some even refuse, to write reviews. Often a review of a first book can present hurdles much more daunting than an assigned paper on Shakespeare or Wordsworth (this has been my experience). Is there a remedy for the reluctance of poets to write reviews? Does reviewing poetry contribute to the "higher art of criticism"? Do you think the MFA programs are placing sufficient emphasis on the dual disciplines of critiquing and creating?

69. Threepenny: Pinsky, Thom Gunn
    robert pinsky s newest books are Democracy, Culture and the Voice of Poetry and Invitation to Poetry. He teaches at Boston University.  
    http://www.threepennyreview.com/samples/pinsky_su05.html
    
    Extractions: Professors or poets sometimes explain their own importance to the young. Not Thom: many a Berkeley undergraduate knew Professor Gunn was a terrific teacher, without knowing that their instructor wrote poems, let alone great ones. Graduate students who read all sorts of assigned claptrap did not know The Man with Night Sweats or Moly —or the seminal essay "Thomas Hardy and the English Ballad," which should have been required reading for them. His virtues of charity and modesty were as unsentimental as his observant, cat-like gaze. The charity came from Thom's unillusioned and unshowy comprehension of how shitty even the best of people can be, and very likely have been. He accepted the defects of other people as he accepted his own. His modesty came from his confidence: he had a master artist's genial, understated contempt for self-importance. Thom showed these qualities to me, and taught me a lesson, when we were colleagues in the mid-1980s. At the time, a clever lunatic was making phone calls to poets, pretending to be various other well-known figures, or a composer interested in setting some work by his victim. I can remember this character singing passages of my poem "History of My Heart" to me over the phone, in a Texas accent that I thought at the time might be fake, though vanity and caution kept me from saying so. To his discredit, this demented son of a bitch also tormented Robert Duncan, in Duncan's last years. I think I identified him as a phony when he called me pretending to be Duncan. One theory or rumor at the time was that he actually was a certain notoriously unstable East Coast poet of reputation, but that was never proved.

    Extractions: By ROBERT PINSKY Published: November 4, 2007 In 2003, when Gen. Colin Powell , then the secretary of state, was making the case to the United Nations Security Council that Saddam Hussein had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction, Elizabeth D. Samet, in a literature class for first-year students at West Point, was teaching Herman Melville ’s story “Bartleby the Scrivener,” with its central character who stubbornly, enigmatically, declines to do as he is told. The syllabus for that week also presented the students with Ambrose Bierce’s “One Kind of Officer,” in which young Captain Ransome, with (in Samet’s words) an “aggrieved literalness,” continues firing on his own side, in stubborn, rebellious, mad, destructive and self-destructive obedience to orders he knows are wrong.

    http://repositories.cdlib.org/townsend/occpapers/2/
    
    Extractions: In Image and Text, No. 2 in the Occasional Papers series, poet Robert Pinsky and artist Michael Mazur discuss their collaboration in producing, as translator and illustrator respectively, the most recent translation of Dante's Inferno. The dialogue turns into a lively consideration of writing, hearing, and seeing texts. Pinsky and Mazur begin by discussing the history of their involvement, both individually and collectively, with Dante. Michael Mazur in particular relates how he first experienced Dante while living in Florence as an art student in the 1950s. The discussion alternates with passages from the Inferno and the accompanying illustrations, reproduced in whole or in detail in Image and Text. The two speakers discuss how the process of illustration and the process of translation often progressed simultaneously for years, sometimes involving deeply appreciative communication between the two, and, sometimes, frank discussions of one-another's attempts to re-render this monumental work in English. The volume includes some of the unpublished illustrations that were not selected for publication in the final volume, and also contains some sources for the monotypes that Michael Mazur produced for this translation. Likewise, Robert Pinsky discusses some of the methods he used to translate the poem, and the qualities of Dante's poetry that make him both technically interesting and thematically immediate to many generations.

    http://www.forbes.com/2007/03/20/robert-pinsky-dream-oped-cx_jl_dream0307_0322pi
    
    Extractions: Robert Pinsky is the former U.S. poet laureate and a teacher in the graduate creative writing program at Boston University. In fall 2007 Farrar Straus and Giroux will publish his next collection of poetry entitled Gulf Music. What is the American Dream? My parents made me aware of the Easter 1939 occasion when the Daughters of the American Revolution, an organization based on ancestry and inherited social power, owned the most important concert hall in Washington, D.C., Constitution Hall. On that Easter before I was born, the DAR denied Marion Anderson, the contralto, to sing in Constitution Hall before an integrated audience. Sometimes, the phrase forces me to remember lines from William Butler Yeats' "Meditations in Time of Civil War": One thing I like about the story of Marion Anderson and the DAR is that, although in the way of history, there may be amendments and revisions, it is essentially a fact: It happened, it is not a fantasy. We can dream of living up to it.
