Pinsky is a respected critic and translator and, as a poet, is a genius of sound and lineation. He also excels at the startling image, as when he describes a brain as "humming to itself, / Like a fat person eating M&Ms in the bathtub." The vividness of the image grabs our attention even as its poignancy and cruel edge complicate the tone of this intricate poem ("History of My Heart"). An impressive and moving collection. 74834 1996 The Figured Wheel: New and Collected Poems, 1966-1996 total:95|5:20|4:43|3:26|2:4|1:2| 95 360 139 7 1 1 false false Sun Mar 30 13:02:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 13:06:54 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Mon Mar 02 00:19:16 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 00:19:59 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 22:18:10 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 22:18:10 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 28 21:32:38 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 21:34:26 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 10:10:41 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 10:11:29 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Oct 30 13:51:18 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 30 13:52:45 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed May 28 15:05:10 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 15:06:19 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 25 22:12:03 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 22:12:03 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 14 23:03:09 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 23:03:09 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:17:38 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 00:17:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 23 12:35:39 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 12:35:59 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 04 08:14:57 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 08:14:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 08:11:49 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 08:12:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 01:07:43 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 01:07:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 25 14:36:11 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 14:36:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 06:14:55 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 06:14:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 15 14:30:21 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 14:30:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 15 10:02:19 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 10:02:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 06 09:34:40 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 09:34:40 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 04 09:50:30 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 09:50:30 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=77457
