Music And Poetry And Robert Pinsky
The Oregonian newspaper runs his poetry column each month. And he's published several books of poetry.
His latest -- a collection of Northwest poets -- just won the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award. He's also brought back to life the magazine, Poetry Northwest, which was the longest running such journal in the country.
David Biespiel joined us earlier to talk about the new issue and the lecture series he's launching, starting with former U.S. poet laureate, Robert Pinsky.
