Pinsky is a longtime contributor to Slate, having served for many years as Slate’s poetry editor and writting about Hillary Clinton’s 1969 commencement speech at Wellesley, how Moby Dick wrecked Herman Melville’s career, and how Sir Walter Raleigh was the master of the poetic takedown—among many other topics.
