Pinsky is the author of nineteen books, many of which are collections of his own highly acclaimed poetry. He is also a contributor to New Jersey Noir (Akashic, $24.95), edited by Joyce Carol Oates, features 19 brand-new stories and poems by Oates, Robert Pinsky, Jonathan Safran Foer, Gerald Stern, SJ Rozan, and many others.
