For love, O try my tra-la-la, ma la belle, mah walla-woe. –from Gulf Music An improvised, even desperate music, yearning toward knowledge across a gulf, informs Robert Pinsky’s first book of poetry since Jersey Rain (2000). On the large scale of war or the personal scale of family history, in the movements of people and cultures across oceans or between eras, these poems discover connections between things seemingly disparate. Gulf Music is perhaps the most ambitious, politically impassioned, and inventive book by this major American poet.
