In this colloquium, Robert Pinsky answers audience questions on topics including the inspiration behind particular books and poems; his Favorite Poem Project; meter, rhyme, and music in 20th century poetry; and the cultural roots of conflict in American public life. The original questions are not included in the recording due to poor audio quality.
