University of California, Berkeley Forum on the Humanities and the Public World Robert Pinsky, U.S. Poet Laureate, 1997-2000 with introductory remarks by Chancellor Robert Birgeneau Jersey Rain . His collection, The Figured Wheel , was a Pulitzer Prize nominee and received the Lenore Marshall Award and the Ambassador Book Award of the English Speaking Union. His most recent chapbook is entitled First Things to Hand Gulf Music Poetry and the World The Sounds of Poetry , and more recently, Democracy, Culture and the Voice of Poetry . Pinsky contends that, though intimate, poetry addresses cultural needs by communicating a shared set of social meanings, a paradox that becomes part of his effort to demonstrate the complexity of American poetry. The Inferno of Dante received the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Howard Morton Landon Prize for translation. He is also co-translator of The Separate Notebooks The Life of David, is a lively retelling and examination of the David stories, and includes a wealth of legend as well as scripture (Schocken, September 2005).

First, Robert Pinsky and his composer collaborator Tod Machover offer a glimpse of their opera-in-progress, Death and the Powers . A story about the evolution of humans, Pinsky reassures that it won’t be “a trite Frankenstein story.” David Thorburn guides the subsequent conversation, with an occasional poke here and there for his old friend and graduate school classmate. They discuss the rationale behind Pinsky’s Favorite Poem Project, where ordinary Americans read their favorite poems. Says Pinsky, “We’re establishing a true elite of people who understand a poem, can incorporate it and read it aloud in a way that other people can perceive it, against the false elite of people who get tenure at Yale or Harvard or BU and often don’t know anything about what a poem actually is.” Pinsky describes the difficulty of writing a good poem: “You’re much more like trying to keep an airplane in the air or save the patient. You’re desperately trying to make something that works.”

MILLENNIUM EVENING GUEST LECTURER ROBERT PINSKY ROBERT PINSKY is the current Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry at the Library of Congress. He is focusing his work on the Favorite Poem Project which will create an audio/video archive of 1000 Americans from every state with varying regional accents, ages, levels of education, professions and ethnicities reciting their favorite poems. He says, "The Favorite Poem Project offers a unique way to learn about poetry through people who love it. The archive will be a gift to the nation's future." Born in 1940 in Long Branch, New Jersey, Professor Pinsky first had his imagination captured just by the way words sounded such as the train conductor's cry, `Passengers going to Hoboken, change trains at Summit." He developed a love of music as a saxophonist and his initial writing was more often songs than poetry. He later earned a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University, and then attended Stanford University earning prestigious fellowships in support of his master's and doctoral work in English. "If anyone is around to ask in a thousand years, `Who were the Americans?' one of the three or four things they'll mention, I hope, is they created poetry that influenced the world."
