"Celebrate National Poetry Month with FSG’s Dial-A-Poem"
"Reviving a recent tradition, the fine minds at Farrar, Straus, and Giroux are celebrating the sonnet in style this spring. Every weekday this entire month, you can call the FSG Poetry Hotline and hear an FSG author read a poem, right into your personal ear. FSG’s poetry stable includes heavy-hitters, and a list honed over eighty years in business. Marianne Moore, T.S. Eliot, Yusef Komunyakaa and Louise Glück all spent time in the publisher’s stable. More recent additions include Rowan Ricardo Phillips and Frederick Seidel."

What Sparks Poetry:
Heather Green on Life in Public
"In 'Forgiveness,' Pinsky’s fluid, associative form moves an electron cloud of image, shadow, and fact around a heavy nucleus of a solitary voice wrestling with its own thoughts, ambitions, and ethical questions. The poem steers from Emmanuel Levinas’s lecture 'The forgiving / Of an unforgivable crime' to Pound’s poetics (and Pinsky’s revelation about duration and stress) in a whorl of motion, a record of a dynamic thought process animated, in part, by music." |
