For Valentine's Day 1986, Ted Kooser wrote "Pocket Poem" and sent
the tender, thoughtful composition to fifty women friends, starting
an annual tradition that would persist for the next twenty-one
years. Printed on postcards, the poems were mailed to a list of
recipients that eventually grew to more than 2,500 women all over
the United States. "Valentines" collects Kooser's twenty-two years
of Valentine's Day poems, complemented with illustrations by Robert
Hanna and a new poem appearing for the first time. Kooser's
valentine poems encompass all the facets of the holiday: the
traditional hearts and candy, the brilliance and purity of love,
the quiet beauty of friendship, and the bittersweetness of longing.
Some of the poems use the word "valentine," others do not, but
there is never any doubt as to the purpose of Kooser's creations.
