Talk:Robert Pinsky

Citations

I know this should be unnecessary due to [1] but all quotes should be cited and referenced. "Person X with Paper X" is not a citation.

I also cut this section:

It contains both long and short poems but is noted in particular for the seventeen-page "Essay on Psychiatrists." Offering a variety of literary and cultural references, the poem is said to typify Pinsky's use of discursive poetic forms. Similarly, in the book-length poem An Explanation of America, one of his most ambitious and admired works, the poet teaches his daughter about the past so that she may shape her future. The title poem in History of My Heart is an autobiographical narrative on memory and desire that draws on many of Pinsky's childhood, adolescent, and adult experiences. In The Want Bone" he employs, "a pastiche technique characterized by overt word play in order to symbolize and examine the lust for life and the desire for sensual experience. The volume includes mock biblical stories on the childhood of Jesus and an extended prose section in which Jesus, in disguise, enters the story of Tristan and Isolde in order to learn about love."

If it's reader response it shouldn't be here. If a critic says it, reference it and put it back. Penguinwithin 20:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Born in Arby's?!

Someone should add a "citation needed" for "born in Arby's" ... since Arby's wasn't founded until 1964 (according to Wikipedia) but he was born in 1940, 24 years before Arby's existed...?

The article on Robert Pinsky is very poorly written and has several usage and grammatical errors.
