This book is a collection of poems recording the devastation
unleashed on the Great Plains by the blizzard of January 12, 1888.
The Blizzard Voices is based on the actual reminiscences of the
survivors as recorded in documents from the time and written
reminiscences from years later. Here are the haunting voices of the
men and women who were teaching school, working the land, and
tending the house when the storm arrived and changed their lives
forever. Ted Kooser, the U.S. poet laureate and winner of the 2005
Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, is a professor of English at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In addition to his many volumes of
poetry, he is the coauthor (with Steve Cox) of Writing Brave and
Free: Encouraging Words for People Who Want to Start Writing
(Nebraska 2006) and the author of The Poetry Home Repair Manual:
Practical Advice for Beginning Poets (Nebraska 2005) and Local
Wonders: Seasons in the Bohemian Alps, available in a Bison Books
edition. Tom Pohrt is an illustrator who lives in Ann Arbor,
Michigan.
