Poetry in the News: Tichborne's Elegy

I don't know if any of you are readers of Slate.com, but former US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky writes an excellent, extremely interesting poetry column for them. This week Pinsky wrote about Tichborne's elegy, giving a short but fascinating bit of analysis into how it generates its impact. I encourage you to read the article... and Pinsky also reads the poem aloud, which is a treat.
