Last week I referred to Robert Pinsky's review of David Rivard's new book. This week I'm happy to point to Pinsky again. In Sunday's Poet's Choice column in the Washington Post, Pinsky presents a poem, "Urban Renewal," from Major Jackson's new book, Hoops. For Seamus Heaney fans, Pinsky connects Jackson's poem with Heaney's well-known "Digging."
Major Jackson is another writer I admire not only for his poetry, but because he's a genuinely nice person. It's always nice to see good things happening to good people. I hope Pinsky's article brings even more attention to Jackson's already very well-regarded work.
