Robert Pinsky and Friends: Poet Laureate Reads, Hosts Fellow Poets

摘要

Recently reappointed Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, who has had a busy year, told a Library audience a bit about himself and his writing as he closed the 1997-1998 literary season with a reading from his poetry. In the words of Dr. Billington, "In his first term, Robert Pinsky has actively encouraged a national renaissance of spoken poetry. His vision of recording a broad cross section of Americans reading their favorite poems has met with heartfelt enthusiasm throughout the country. The Library looks forward to enriching its archives with the recordings he selects in his second term."
