An episode from 8/14/24:\xa0Tonight, I read excerpts from the poet Robert Pinsky\u2019s 1995 interview with\xa0The Paris Review. It is fascinating to see how much of what he says seems timeless and wise (everything on creativity, writing habits, high and low speech, etc.), and those things that seem stuck in the amber of 1995 (the phenomenon of poets teaching at universities).

I end the episode with a reading of his incredible visionary poem,\xa0\u201cThe Figured Wheel.\u201d\xa0(The poem is available in many books, but as I say in the beginning of this episode, it was an early\xa0collected volume with that name\xa0where I first discovered him.)

You can support Human Voices Wake Us\xa0here, or by ordering any of my books:\xa0Notes from the Grid,\xa0To the House of the Sun,\xa0The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and\xa0Bone Antler Stone. I\u2019ve also edited a handful of books in the\xa0S4N Pocket Poems\xa0series.
