SUMMARY:The Life of David by Robert Pinsky
DESCRIPTION:  An interesting read by an interesting author. Robert Pin
	sky was the United States Poet Laureate and Consultant in Poetry to th
	e Library of Congress. While there are many books about David\, this o
	ne makes an especially interesting read due who is writing it. Below i
	s some more information on the book. I am looking forward to our discu
	ssion! - Poet\, warrior\, and king\, David has loomed large in myth an
	d legend through the centuries\, and he continues to haunt our collect
	ive imagination\, his flaws and inconsistencies making him the most ap
	proachable of biblical heroes. Robert Pinsky\, former poet laureate of
	 the United States\, plumbs the depths of David's life: his triumphs a
	nd his failures\, his charm and his cruelty\, his divine destiny and h
	is human humiliations. Drawing on the biblical chronicle of David's li
	fe as well as on the later commentaries and the Psalms—traditionally 
	considered to be David's own words—Pinsky teases apart the many stran
	ds of David's story and reweaves them into a glorious narrative. Under
	 the clarifying and captivating light of Pinsky's erudition and imagin
	ation\, and his mastery of image and expression\, King David—both the
	 man and the idea of the man—is brought brilliantly to life. "Pinsky'
	s language and insights are gorgeous\, as we have come to expect from 
	his poetry and his prose about poetry\, and one finishes "The Life of 
	David" with a sense of King David as a Shakespearean figure — the Bar
	d himself\, along with Hamlet\, King Lear and Henry IV\, all wrapped i
	nto one." —Daniel Schifrin\, San Francisco Chronicle\n
