"The Figured Wheel" fully collects the first four books of poetry,
as well as twenty-one new poems, by Robert Pinsky, the former U.S.
Poet Laureate.
Critic Hugh Kenner, writing about Pinsky's first volume, described
this poet's work as "nothing less than the recovery for language of
a whole domain of mute and familiar experience." Both the
transformation of the familiar and the uttering of what has been
hitherto mute or implicit in our culture continue to be central to
Pinsky's art. New poems like "Avenue" and "The City Elegies"
envision the urban landscape's mysterious epitome of human pain and
imagination, forces that recur in "Ginza Samba," an astonishing
history of the saxophone, and "Impossible to Tell," a jazz-like
work that intertwines elegy with both the Japanese custom of
linking-poems and the American tradition of ethnic jokes. A final
section of translations includes Pinsky's renderings of poems by
Czeslaw Milosz, Paul Celan, and others, as well as the last canto
of his award-winning version of the "Inferno,"
