From An Explanation of America:
LAIR
Robert Pinsky
Inexhaustible, delicate, as if
Without source or medium, daylight
Undoes the mind; the infinite,
Empty actual is too bright,
Scattering to where the road
Whispers, through a mile of woods …
Later, how quiet the house is:
Dusk-like and refined,
The sweet Phoebe-note
Piercing from the trees;
The calm globe of the morning,
Things to read or to write
Ranged on a table; the brain
A dark, stubborn current that breathes
Blood, a deaf wadding,
The hands feeding it paper
And sensations of wood or metal
On its own terms. Trying to read
I persist a while, finish the recognition
By my breath of a dead giant's breath--
Stayed by the space of a rhythm,
Witnessing the blue gulf of the air.

Om författaren
Robert Pinsky was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and studied at Rutgers and Stanford Universities. He has taught at the University of Chicago, Wellesley College, and the University of California, Berkeley. For several years the poetry editor of The New Republic, he has won the Oscar Blumenthal Prize (1978) and Woodrow Wilson and Fulbright grants. His book of criticism, The Situation of Poetry: Contemporary Poetry and Its Traditions (1976), is referred to often. He has argued for, and written, a poetry of discursiveness, one that can treat abstract thought and social reality as well as subjectivity and deep emotion.
