“What has six arms, an enormous appetite, and roams over the earth devouring experience with omnivorous reverence? The poet Robert Pinsky, that's who. In The Want Bone, Pinsky invents a poetic mode all his own, a magisterial, probing, curious, wandering semi-omniscient intelligence--like, that's right, the Eye of God— gathering and recording data into some divine record . . ."—Tony Hoagland
