SUMMARY:Robert Pinsky at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:About Robert Pinsky: The First Two Books of Poems\nThe remarkable first two books of poetry by the Pulitzer Prize finalist and former U.S. poet laureate—now combined in a single volume with a new preface by the author.  \nAward-winning poet Robert Pinsky’s first two collections—Sadness And Happiness and An Explanation of America—announced the arrival of a major new voice in American poetry. Now\, these acclaimed books are presented together in a single volume featuring a new preface by the author\, introducing a new generation of readers to the groundbreaking early work of a beloved poet. Sadness And Happiness explores everyday subjects such as the streets and oceanfront of Pinsky’s hometown of Long Branch\, New Jersey\, while the long title poem of An Explanation of America examines personal and national myths as it transports readers across the country. \nAbout On Poetry\, Culture\, and Democracy\nTwo important books of criticism by the Pulitzer Prize finalist and former U.S. poet laureate—now combined in a single volume with a new preface by the author.  \nFor Robert Pinsky\, poetry’s individual\, human scale as a fundamentally vocal medium—with poems brought to life by one person at a time—gives poetry a unique importance in American and democratic culture and society. This book brings together two compelling works of criticism by the former poet laureate—The Situation of Poetry and Democracy\, Culture and the Voice of Poetry\, in which he makes a passionate and eloquent case for the vital role of poetry in a democracy.
