Here’s a review on Instagram from @fredinwyo : “Whether writing about a man with a rake or morning sunlight on a spider’s silk or a mouse nest in his band saw, Kooser’s poetry connects me to simple (mundane?) yet profound human experience. A balm.” #tedkooser #poetry

Pick slugs off the cabbage patch? Go strawberry picking? Stick your head into a 40s film noir? The world is your ... eat oysters? Finish that volume of Proust you never started?

You of all people, Mr. Jellyfish, should know to stay in the water. I swam amongst your clan the other day, very peaceful out there, you guys just have a certain way of moving, inimitable.
