Robert Pinsky reads poems published across thirty-five years, many of which engage with poetic and cultural ancestors. He opens with work collected in his Selected Poems (2011) before reading from his newest collection, Proverbs of Limbo (2024). Pinsky also reads two new poems that appeared in magazines around the time of this reading.
