Winter Morning Walks

When US Poet Laureate Ted Kooser was diagnosed with cancer, he turned to poetry, writing one short poem each day and mailing it to a friend, the writer Jim Harrison. The result--the 100 poems collected here--won the Nebraska Book Award in 2001. Each poem begins with the date and a brief weather report: November 9. Rainy and cold or January 31. Light mist on a sharp wind. The poems reflect the walks Kooser took daily throughout the cold Nebraska winter, as he pondered his relationships to friends and family and to nature. The last one ( March 20. The vernal equinox ) ends with the line: This morning the sun stood/right at the end of the road/and waited for me. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
