Named U.S. Poet Laureate for 2004-2006, Ted Kooser is one of America\u0026#39;s masters of the short metaphorical poem. Dana Gioia has remarked that Kooser has written more perfect poems than any poet of his generation.In \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Flying at Night: Poems 1965-1985\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt;, Kooser has selected poems from two of his earlier works, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Sure Signs\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt; (1980) and \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;One World at a Time\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt; (1985). Taken together or read one at a time, these poems clearly show why William Cole, writing in the \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Saturday Review\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt;, called Ted Kooser \u0026quot;a wonderful poet,\u0026quot; and why Peter Stitt, writing in the \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Georgia Review\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt;, proclaimed him \u0026quot;a skilled and cunning writer. . . . An authentic \u0026#39;poet of the American people.\u0026#39;\u0026quot; |
