Author: Robert Pinsky, Robert Pinsky
Dollars, dolors. Callings and contrivances. King Zulu. Comus. — Sephardic ju-ju and verses. Voodoo mojo, Special Forces. — Henry formed a group named Professor Longhair and his — Shuffling Hungarians.

An improvised, even desperate music, yearning toward knowledge across a gulf, informs Robert Pinsky’s first book of poetry since Jersey Rain (2000).
