Ted Kooser's Latest Collection
"I’d like to think that all of my books have reflected the life I was living when the poems were written. The poems in 'Red Stilts' are those of a man entering his 80s, a much different man than I was at 30, publishing my first collection, 'Official Entry Blank.' Those early poems are embarrassing to me now, but they represented who I was back then."

What Sparks Poetry:
Donna Stonecipher on "études"
"I have read a wide shelf’s worth of books of translation theory, but when I actually sit down to translate, especially poetry, all of that beautifully formulated theory goes out the window, and I am faced with the poet’s mind, and my mind, and how I am going to get them to work together." |
