Throughout his career, Pinsky has been dedicated to identifying and invigorating poetry’s place in the world. He shows everyone that poetry is a living, dynamic, and musical art form.

As poet laureate, Pinsky founded the Favorite Poem Project, in which thousands of Americans—of varying backgrounds, all ages, and from every state—shared their favorite poems.

He is the author of several collections of poetry, including Gulf Music: Poems (Farrar, Straus & Giroux: 2007); Jersey Rain (2000); The Figured Wheel: New and Collected Poems 1966-1996 (1996), which received the 1997 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize and was a Pulitzer Prize nominee; The Want Bone (1990); History of My Heart (1984); An Explanation of America (1980); and Sadness and Happiness (1975).

Pinsky has taught at both Wellesley College and the University of California, Berkeley, and currently teaches in the graduate writing program at Boston University.

The Liberal Arts Symposium is cosponsored by Liberal Arts, the Office for Cultural Diversity and Inclusion, and the Office of Faculty Development.

Dear Tamara,

Please accept my congratulations on your Dean’s List status at Berklee for fall semester 2011. I am writing to ask a favor, though by no means an unpleasant one.

Enclosed, you’ll find a press release about your excellent work at the college. I am asking you to send this press release to your local newspaper, so that everyone in your area can know this happy news. Weekly newspapers that focus on neighborhood and family events — rather than large-circulation, daily newspapers — are the best places to approach with a notice like this. The Editor, or Managing Editor are good people to whom you can address this notice.

Your effort will make all the difference. We appreciate the help very much.

Sincerely,
The Office of Media Relations
Berklee College of Music
