Description
Forget what you learned about poetry in school (that it's complex, opaque, a problem to be solved in 1500 words due tomorrow). Poetry is the last preserve of honest speech and the outspoken heart. It holds the cadence of common life. It has a passion for truth and justice and liberty--the spirit that has kept the American porch light lit through dark ages of history. And the meaning of poetry is to give courage. This anthology of 185 poems was selected by Keillor from those he has read on The Writer's Almanac on public radio--chosen as poems he might send to a friend whose life had gone skidding into the meridian--not poems about suffering, but poems that are bracing, as bold clear writing can be.
