    http://world.std.com/~jpwilson/pinsky.html
    
    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?

    Extractions: text altogether, calling them “thunketta.” Anapests survive: Pinsky sees them as the “first, unstressed part of an iamb divided into two,” “bouncing two quick syllables, often elided, into the place of one,” galloping rhythm. In a way, you could say Pinsky’s gone digital poetry, espousing a terminology that covers the maximum number of cases with the minimum number of terms. Robert Pinsky is our Poet Laureate , and is following in the path of other recent activist PL’s: Robert Hass Rita Dove Joseph Brodsky . The centerpiece of his tenure is the Favorite Poem Project , audio and yearning video recordings of Real People reading their favorite verse. Likewise, what’s important in this slender volume is not his theory of an iamb-based metrics, but the book’s dedication to poetry as a spoken art. At a time when performance poetry must fight for its right to be accepted as literature

Books "Democracy, Culture and the Voice of Poetry" By Robert Pinsky Poetry helps make sense of the world's craziness Sunday, February 02, 2003 By Jim Schley Author of translations, anthologies and criticism as well as six volumes of poetry, including his magisterial "The Figured Wheel: New and Collected Poems," Robert Pinsky was a particularly energetic U.S. poet laureate. During that tenure, from 1997 to 2000, he launched a popular multimedia documentary venture, the Favorite Poem Project, which solicited nominations and then readings from many Americans of poems they found meaningful. Pinsky's new book of essays is drawn from a series of lectures he delivered in 2001 at Princeton's University Center for Human Values. This brief, luminescent volume, published as a handsome little hardcover, poses a question that many readers will recognize as urgent: What is the ongoing social (that is, more than personal) role of the ancient art of poetry, especially in a democracy?

He will present the NIH Director's Cultural Lecture at 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 25 in Masur Auditorium, Bldg. 10. Poet Robert Pinsky Pinsky is one of the nation's more visible and widely known poets, with appearances on public television and radio, and at the White House. Feature articles and reviews about him and his work have appeared in local and national newspapers hailing him as "the People's Poet." Pinsky's 1994 English translation of Dante's Inferno put the Italian classic on the bestseller list. In addition to his appointments as poet laureate and consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress, he is professor of graduate writing at Boston University. He also serves as poetry editor for the weekly online magazine Slate Pinsky, 57, grew up in a lower-middle class family in Long Branch, N.J. He amalgamates the language and images of his culturally diverse home town with a rich sampling of other bits of Americana as he explores subjects from the lofty to the commonplace. Two recent poems, for example, are about television and a shirt. The lingo, characters, paraphernalia and expressions of religion, fables, Black culture, jazz, city street life and even biomedicine weave and permutate through his poems. Consider, for example, Pinsky's description of what NIH'ers might call apoptosis and hemopoiesis (from "City Elegies, 'Everywhere I Go, There I am,'" in

    Poetry and War, Again By robert pinsky Updated Friday, March 14, 2003, at 1152 AMPT. Former Poet Laureate robert pinsky's latest book of poems is Jersey Rain.  
    http://slate.msn.com/id/2080074/
    
    Extractions: The old question of poetry's authority in political life has been in the news again. Poets protesting the Bush administration's policies—especially its plans for war in Iraq—by declining invitations to Mrs. Bush's White House poetry event on Feb. 12; poets (some of the same ones) protesting when Mrs. Bush canceled the event; critics praising the poets or deriding them. These events recall the long history of poetry and war, from the Homeric poems to the Vietnam War teach-ins, with Robert Lowell and Allen Ginsberg marching on the Pentagon. Here are some of the poems that went through my mind in response to the recent controversy. First, two drastically different ways of dealing with the question of political engagement or disengagement. On one side, William Butler Yeats' poem "On Being Asked for a War Poem":

    Extractions: Fall 2000 Jersey Rain Robert Pinsky by Piotr Gwiazda obert Pinsky's sixth poetry collection is not a disappointment to his readers. The book contains a number of apt, solid, and vivid poems, precisely what should be expected from a writer who up to this point has successfully welded tacit autobiography and restrained discursiveness, and with this new volume still continues to do so. Already past the "collected poems" stage ( The Figured Wheel: New and Collected Poems 1966-96 appeared in 1996), Pinsky has hordes of admirers and detractors, a fact which didn't prevent him from serving as the Poet Laureate of the United States for three years; during his tenure, he made himself available not only at poetry festivals and readings, but also in unconventional and essentially unpoetic vistas: what can be more disarmingly incongruous than a poet reciting verses about memories, mothers, and money on the News Hour With Jim Lehrer? Pinsky's efforts to popularize poetry, his across-the-nation conspicuousness and academic prominence (he has a permanent teaching appointment at Boston University), make him a perfect candidate to become somebody this country hasn't had for a long time: a distinguished man of letters. In his desire to create an audience for poetry in the United States, Pinsky inches toward the position once occupied (only half-heartedly, to be sure) by Robert Frosta national bard, the conscience of American people, a consistent and trustworthy voice reminding us where we came from and where we are going as individuals and as a nation (recall Pinsky's 1980 book-length poem

    Extractions: June 12, 2000. Talk about Pinsky's Poetry. In 1997, When Robert Pinsky was appointed the thirty-ninth poet laureate of the United States, his aim was to get more Americans without English degrees reading Longfellow, Dickens, Rita Dove, and Langston Hughes. And so he did. His stint as the public face of American poetry ended last month. Throughout his term, he's tried to get people to stop thinking about poetry as a scholarly pursuit, and start enjoying it. The measure of his success is not having created more poetry readings featuring prominent writers, it's that regular people are in the audience. He has been arguably the most visible and mainstream of poet laureates - on-line, on network televsion, on PBS. With his democratic attitude he created "The Favorite Poem Project" and invited all of us to think about the stanzas we cherish most. His dearest hope, he says on his way back to life as a regular poet, is that this particular effort changes the way poetry is taught in school.
