The Favorite Poem Project was founded by Robert Pinsky during his tenure as the Poet Laureate of the United States and offers readers unaccustomed to reading poetry and inviting way into the art. This collection of 200 poems also comes with a DVD that features the 27 acclaimed Favorite Poem Project documentaries, poems introduced by people from across the United States, and a video introduction from Robert Pinsky. N° de ref. del artículo 1348092
For a reader unaccustomed to reading poetry, or who has fallen away from the custom, this collection offers an inviting way into the art, or back into it. For readers devoted to poetry, it offers illuminating examples of the infinitely various ways a poem reaches a reader.In both the book and the videos on the accompanying DVD, poems by Sappho, Shakespeare, Keats, Whitman, and Dickinson as well as contemporary poets are introduced by people from across the United States—a construction worker, a Supreme Court justice, a glassblower, a marine—each of whom speaks about his or her connection to the poem. Their comments are variously poignant, funny, heartening, tart, penetrating, and eccentric, showing some of the ways poetry is alive for American readers. An Invitation to Poetry will inspire a fresh experience of poetry's pleasure and insight.
