"His trademark star turn: Kooser smoothly, seamlessly elevates the
humdrum moments to the sublime. . . . His attitude that 'poetry is
communication' is refreshing in an era when so many poets seem to
be babbling to themselves, giving us pages ripped out of their
narcissistic diaries."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Ted Kooser is a poet whose company will always be welcome, whether
in Nebraska or in East Anglia."--Hudson Review
"Will one day rank alongside of Edgar Lee Masters, Robert Frost,
and William Carlos Williams."--Minneapolis Tribune
"Now that he has been appointed Poet Laureate of the United States,
he should receive the readership he deserves."
--TLS (Times Literary Supplements)
