Books by Robert Pinsky

This latest edition of the Cambridge-based literary magazine introduces, in addition to an exciting mix of poetry, ideas essays, fiction, and comics, a new focus on science and on food writing with the new "Zest!" section.

The new Resistance Issue of Pangyrus Literary Magazine features many of the artists who've lit up the stage during Resistance Mic!'s first and second seasons at the OBERON in Harvard Square: Robert Pinsky, Steve Almond, Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich, Kazim Ali, Kim Stafford, Brenda Hillman, Regie Gibson, Anne Champion, Krysten Hill, Jennifer Jean, Tim McCarthy, and many more. Full of hope, outrage, humor and insight, the magazine is the necessary companion to impossible times.

The poems in Robert Pinsky's At the Foundling Hospital consider personality and culture as improvised from loss: a creative effort so pervasive it is invisible. An extreme example is the abandoned new-born.
