18. Trusting The Sounds Of Poetry: Robert Pinsky Has A Mission
    Trusting the Sounds of Poetry robert pinsky has a Mission Six months after the kickoff of the Poet Laureates Favorite Poem Project, the effort has garnered more than 2 500 written responses. robert pinsky, United States Poet Laureate, has just one lesson for America Poetry is a musical experience.  
    http://www.bookmagazine.com/archive/issue1/poetics.html
    
    Extractions: by Jane Hodges Robert Pinsky, United States Poet Laureate, has just one lesson for America: Poetry is a musical experience. "I’m much more interested in how a poem sounds," he says, meaning how it sounds aloud. He’s not suggesting that honoring poetry means merely attending poetry readings. "I’d like people to trust that they can read a poem aloud, in their own voice." Pinsky knows a book can only go so far in explaining poetry as a spoken, physical art. That’s where his second lesson comes in. Last spring, Pinsky launched the Favorite Poem Project during National Poetry Month. Though the kick-off reading for the project fell on a clammy April evening, the kind that sends the most die-hard New Yorker home in a cab to watch reruns, a line of umbrellas starting at the Town Hall Theatre began to snake its way down West 43rd Street and toward Sixth Avenue well before the theatre’s doors opened. Crusty New York natives might have wondered are they there for a Broadway show? Spice Girls in town? Not exactly. The umbrellas were waiting for a star-studded list of folks to read verse. None of the readers billed themselves as poets, but each one had a favorite poem to share. TV newsman Ed Bradley read Nikky Finney’s "Uncles" and radio celeb Garrison Keillor read his favorite, James Wright’s "The Blessing." Politician Geraldine Ferraro read Rudyard Kipling’s "If," choreographer Bill T. Jones read from Derek Walcott’s epic "Omeros," pop artist Laurie Anderson read Seamus Heaney, and folk singer Suzanne Vega read T.S. Eliot’s "Preludes." High schoolers chose and read work by Sylvia Plath and Roald Dahl.
