Bøker av Ted Kooser

The Windflower Home Almanac of Poetry is an anthology of poems originally selected by Ted Kooser in 1980 and published by his Windflower Press, a small, independent publisher that specialized in poetry from the Great Plains. The collection contains almost two hundred poems from dozens of poets and was designed to resemble a commonplace farmer’s almanac.

The poems in Cotton Candy were written during Ted Kooser’s daily writing routine of getting up long before dawn and snatching out of the air whatever comes to him in words, rhythms, and cadences.

A collection of poetry by Ted Kooser.

Offers a sequence of contemplative prose observations about nature, place, and time arranged according to the calendar year. Written by one of America's most beloved poets, this book is published in the year in which Ted Kooser turns seventy-five, with sixty years of workbooks stretching behind him.

A collection of poems, which encompass the facets of Valentine's day: the traditional hearts and candy, the brilliance and purity of love, the quiet beauty of friendship, and the bittersweetness of longing.

Describes with detail and humour the place the author calls home in the Bohemian Alps of southeastern Nebraska.

Much more than a guidebook to writing and revising poems, this manual has all the comforts and merits of an enlightening conversation with a wise, patient friend, one willing to share everything he' s learned about the art he spent a lifetime learning. Ted Kooser offers tools, insights, and instructions (and warnings against instructions). Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, he schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader, which is fundamental to what he believes is poetry' s ultimate purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts. An index has been added to this Bison Books edition.
