Return to Poetry Pages The Deep Passage: Dante, Longfellow, and Pinsky Io cominciai: "Poeta che mi guidi, prima ch'a l'alto passo tu mi fidi." Dante Alighieri Inferno, II. 10-12 And I began: "Poet, who guidest me, Regard my manhood, if it be sufficient. Ere to the arduous pass thou dost confide me." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Inferno , II. 10-12 I commenced: "Poet, take my measure now: Appraise my powers before you trust me to venture Through that deep passage where you would be my guide." Robert Pinsky The Inferno of Dante , II. 9-11 November 1995 I n an online conference hosted by The Atlantic Monthly in April, 1995, the American poet Robert Pinsky commented on some of the problems inherent in translating a work like Dante's Inferno (the first part of the Divina Commedia ). Asked whether poetry is essentially untranslatable, he answered: "Yes. Poetry is basically a technology of the sounds of language, and one set of sounds is not another. . . . But as a work of imagination one canto use a very old term'English' a work of art into another derived work of art, meant to give pleasure and an idea of the original in the new language."

The Pleasures of Merely Circulating The Pleasures of Merely Circulating By Wallace Stevens Posted Thursday, July 31, 1997, at 12:30 AM PT (posted Wednesday, July 30) To hear Robert Pinsky read "The Pleasures of Merely Circulating," click here Continue Article The suave cadences of this poem, flirting with parody and nursery rhyme, show what a master of traditional meter Wallace Stevens wasthat mastery may have helped him to write free verse that is so unmistakably verse. The suavity, and the serious fear of meaningless mortality, includes the bawdy joke, which is also a philosophical joke, about Mrs. Anderson and the paternity question. What is philosophically arbitrary might in another sense be a matter of promiscuity. I believe that this poem is funnier, and more profoundly funny, if it is not psychologically played for laughs by the reader. (By a similar principle, Keaton did not rely on whistle slides or tuba blats as background music.) Robert Pinsky The garden flew round with the angel

To put the question more precisely, what vocal reality underlies the typographical convention of stopping at the right margin and returning to the left margin? ( Versus in Latin, from which the word "verse" derives, signifies the ploughman at the end of a furrow turning about to begin again, so that "verse" and "reverse" are closely related.) Here is a poem that seems particularly conscious of its own lines. The author, Ben Jonson (1572-1637), conveys in his title that a lady to whom he has given his picture (no small gift, in the days before photography) subsequently left that gift in Scotland (a wild, remote place, to a Londoner of the time no small distance to leave any valued object behind). In response, Jonson writes:

38. Poetry And American Memory - 99.10 The poet laureate, robert pinsky, reflects on what our poetry can teach us about American memory by robert pinsky ( The online version of this article appears in two parts A look at robert pinsky's Favorite Poem Project http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99oct/9910pinsky.htm

Return to this issue's Table of Contents. O C T O B E R 1 9 9 9 The poet laureate reflects on what makes the American people "a people" and what our poetry can teach us about the "fragile, heroic enterprise of remembering" by Robert Pinsky The online version of this article appears in two parts. Click here to go to part two. HO do we Americans think we are? This is a cultural question, and it is worth asking: many of the great issues in American public life are ultimately cultural issues. The relation of the well-off to the poor; the meaning and the future of race and ethnicity; the degree to and manner in which we share responsibility for the aged, the sick, the needy; even our mission and place among the world's nations: all these depend on our sense of ourselves as a people that is, as a cultural reality. In other words, these social issues depend on how we remember ourselves. Discuss this article in More on in The Atlantic Monthly and Atlantic Unbound. From the archives: "Can Poetry Matter?", by Dana Gioia (May, 1991) Poetry has vanished as a cultural force in America. If poets venture outside their confined world, they can work to make it essential once more.

On "Shirt" J.D. McClatchy In a wonderful set piece called "Shirt," Pinsky broods over his purchase of a shirt. The technical terms for shirt-making in their turn evoke Korean sweatshops, the Triangle Factory fire, Scottish mills, and a black South Carolina shirt "inspector" named Irma, along with planters and pickers and sorters, weavers, carders, and loaders. By the end of the poem, the plain sportshirt has become a mythological shirt of flame, a history laid on the poet’s back. New Republic . Vol. 203, 1990: 46-48. James McCorkle The closing stanza of "The Ghost Hammer," the penultimate poem of The Want Bone , reveals our complicity: Mattock of want, sickle of Kali, bare hand Of hungeryou too have lifted it and let it fall, You have committed images, the tool Is warm from your hand Pinsky shows such complicity more intimately in "Shirt." The attention to the details of the making of a shirt"The back, the yoke, the yardage. Lapped seams, / The nearly invisible stitches along the collar"at first links the observer to the object and his appreciation of its construction. The poem quickly acknowledges the Korean and Malaysian workers in notorious 1911 first in the Triangle Shirt Factory; it shifts then to the Scottish workers controlled by mill owners who, "invented clan tartans." The intertwined genealogies of oppression and production are relentless:
