Pinsky has a rare gift for action, character, and atmosphere clearly and buoyantly proportioned. --Roland Flint, The New York Times Book Review "The Figured Wheel" is a mad, brilliant vortex that draws into itself gods, men, art, rags and bones, atoms and dust. Simply reading the poem is breathtaking; it starts its uninterruptible progression, gradually gaining speed and power, and ends in a violent giant step over self and art. It is in every sense a stunning and dangerous poem. --Joan Todden Keefe, San Francisco Chronicle
