Former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky told the “story of stories” in the Branford College common room on Wednesday. That story, the biblical account of King David, is the subject of his new work, “The Life of David.” “I don’t think any life has ever been made up, never mind lived, that had as many things in it as this life,” he said. “We see [David] as a father, we see him as a child, we see him as a brother, as a killer, as a lover.”
