Book Synopsis
“Magnificent . . . poems to inspire [with] brief and brilliant, offhand notes about how to read them.”—Alan Cheuse, NPR

Trade Review
"The latest in what has become a Pinsky pedagogical legacy. . . . By paying deep attention to these masters, the poet becomes a poet, through ‘the particular work’ of listening." -- Huffington Post
"Sparkling. . . . Pinsky has selected a tremendously fresh and exciting variety of salient poems. . . . This stimulating and creative guide will intrigue and enlighten everyone interested in poetry." -- Booklist
"Singing School is nothing like the usual anthology of safe and sane selections. Instead, it is a gathering of poetry designed to stimulate the young and startle the old practitioner, with a surprise around every corner. . . . A book that will instruct and charm every reader." -- Alicia Ostriker
