Join award-winning author and poet, Robert Pinsky, and Emerson scholars, Richard Geldard and David M. Robinson, in celebrating the bicentennial of Ralph Waldo Emerson with a live reading from famous American essays including Self-Reliance, The Oversoul and The American Scholar. Ralph Waldo Emerson was an essayist, orator, poet and philosopher whose vibrant words and original insights were meant to be heard by an engaged audience. The Pinsky reading will serve as living tribute to 'the sage of Concord' in his 200th year.Robert Pinsky, poet laureate of the United States (1997-2000), is poetry editor of the online journal Slate and a contributor to The Newshour with Jim Lehrer on PBS.
