Recently appointed as the new U. S. Poet Laureate, Ted Kooser has
been writing and publishing poetry for more than forty years. In
the pages of "The Poetry Home Repair Manual," Kooser brings those
decades of experience to bear. Here are tools and insights, the
instructions (and warnings against instructions) that
poets--aspiring or practicing--can use to hone their craft, perhaps
into art. Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from
the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, the author
schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader,
which is fundamental to what Kooser believes is poetry's ultimate
purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts. Much more
than a guidebook to writing and revising poems, this manual has all
the comforts and merits of a long and enlightening conversation
with a wise and patient old friend--a friend who is willing to
share everything he's learned about the art he's spent a lifetime
learning to execute so well.
