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 \u003ci\u003eInferno\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Figured Wheel | Robert Pinsky | Paperback | 9780374525064 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769166","offer_id":50749729341698,"sku":"1769166","price":22.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71ldW9MRgfL.jpg?v=1791965705","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/figured-wheel","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
