Robert Pinsky live at MIT & on the Web
Wednesday February 22, 2006
from Brad Seawell at the MIT Communications Forum:
A conversation with Robert Pinsky
“In this wide-ranging conversation, the former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky will discuss his collaboration on a digital opera with Tod Machover of the Media Lab, his ongoing Favorite Poem Project, his ideas about poetry and democratic culture, and his recent prose book, The Life of David, an account of the Biblical poet-king. Machover will join the forum at the beginning of the conversation to discuss the opera-in-progress Death and the Powers: A Robot Pageant.”
If you can’t be in Cambridge, Massachusetts for this event on Thursday, February 23, no worry: The whole thing will be available after the event as an audio recording at the MIT Communications Forum site & as on-demand video at MIT World.
