As United States Poet Laureate, Robert Pinsky founded the Favorite Poem Project, in which thousands of Americans — of varying backgrounds, of all ages, and from every state — shared their favorite poems. The project’s videos, giving voice to the American audience for poetry, demonstrate that, contrary to stereotype, poetry has a vigorous presence in the American cultural landscape. The anthology Americans’ Favorite Poems, which includes letters from project participants, is in its 18th printing.
