A propos de cet article

A TREASURE: NEW Stated First Edition (2004) w/ no. line at "2" confirming First Printing: SIGNED by Robert Pinsky: FINE virtually AS-NEW handsomely-designed mylar-protected jacket w/ sharp NEW edges BUT w/ inside flyleaf corners neatly clipped at c. 0.25" on the diagonal & showing orig. $29.905 pub. price at top-right inside-front flyleaf, IMPECCABLE smooth-cut text-block exterior, IMMACULATE pure-white end-papers, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed on EXCELLENT paper * 6.25" x 9.50" x 1.08", 0.68 kg, xxiv+308 (332) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: A multimedia collection of poems introduced by American readers, featuring a DVD including a video introduction by Robert Pinsky. 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 & the videos on the accompanying DVD, poems by Sappho, Shakespeare, Keats, Whitman, & 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, & 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 & insight. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: MAGGIE DIETZ is the Favorite Poem Project's director. She lives in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. ROBERT PINSKY is the author of ten collections of poetry including, most recently, At the Foundling Hospital. His translation "The Inferno of Dante" won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry. His brief guide "The Sounds of Poetry" is used in acting classes. As a 3-term United States Poet Laureate, Pinsky founded the Favorite Poem Project, in which thousands of Americans shared their favorite poems. That project gave rise to three previous anthologies, "Americans' Favorite Poems", "An Invitation to Poetry" & "Singing School". Pinsky lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, & teaches at Boston University. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at our quoted below cost rates.…
