the poems from the robert pinsky episode of the slate culture gabfest

I wanted to go look up all the poems mentioned on the Robert Pinsky episode of the Slate Culture Gabfest (Live from Boston -- October 22, 2014). The list of poems wasn't transcribed online anywhere, so I am posting it here.

Dana reads the Emily Dickinson poem that begins, "I died for beauty."

Julia reads a passage from Derek Walcott beginning, "No language is neutral." The passage is from the collection Midsummer, poem LII -- "I heard them marching the leaf-wet roads of my head."

Stephen reads "To Earthward" by Robert Frost

They mention the line, "I fall upon the thorns of life," from "Ode to the West Wind" by Percy Shelley. They say that Frost's poem is mocking the kind of melodrama that is present in Shelley's poem.

Pinsky says that Frost's best poems are all deep cuts. He mentions:
- "The Most of It"
- "Directive"
- "An Old Man's Winter Night"

Pinsky reads "Fine Work with Pitch and Copper" by William Carlos Williams.

Pinsky also reads "Adam's Curse" by William Butler Yeats.

Pinsky endorses Walter de la Marre, but not any specific poem.

Stephen endorse Randall Jarrell's book Pictures from an Institution, which prompts Pinsky to mention Jarrell's children's poem "The Bat-Poet." That poem was published as a picture book with illustrations by Maurice Sendak.
