These poems were very accessible, rang true, and seemed to be so much a part of many people’s lives. He had not published a book for ten years, since he had won the Pulitzer Prize with Delights & Shadows. In a review on Rumpus.net there was the following line. “I am drawn to Kooser’s poems, in part, because they are radically and unapologetically sincere.’’ He describes the objects we see every day in such a way that his readers see and appreciate them in a different way. Whenever I read some of his poetry, I always come away with the feeling that so many people need more Ted Kooser in their lives. Read some, your life will be richer.

HTML: One of the "Big Indie Books of Fall 2014"—Publishers Weekly "Ted Kooser must be the most accessible and enjoyable major poet in America. His lines are so clear and simple."—Michael Dirda,The Washington Post "Readers [of Splitting an Order] will find 'characters' both strange and wonderful, animal or human. There is a sense that time is passing quickly and that everything worthy must be captured and savored, from an old couple lovingly sharing a sandwich to another sowing seed potatoes to a tribute to an old dog who waits as age and winter approach... Master of the single-metaphor poem, Kooser offers images that evolve, fluid and unforced."—Library Journal, starred review "Wisdom, compassion, and dignity continue to mark the poetry of Ted Kooser...Splitting an Order [is] a quiet collection that honors small victories and gives reasons to be hopeful."—Elizabeth Lund, The Christian Science Monitor "Kooser's ability to discover the smallest detail and render it remarkable is a rare gift."—Bloomsbury Review Pulitzer Prize winner and best selling poet Ted Kooser calls attention to the intimacies of life through commonplace objects and occurrences: an elderly couple sharing a sandwich is a study in transcendent love, while a tattered packet of spinach seeds calls forth innate human potential. This long-awaited collection from the former U.S. Poet Laureate—ten years in the making—is rich with quiet and profound magnificence. From "Splitting an Order": I like to watch an old man cutting a sandwich in half Ted Kooser is the author of numerous books of poetry and prose, including Delights and Shadows (Copper Canyon Press), which won the Pulitzer Prize. A former US Poet Laureate, Kooser serves as editor for "American Life in Poetry," a nationally syndicated weekly newspaper column. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
