Description

|
|
|
Since 1993, people have tuned in to public radio at seven o'clock in the morning to hear Garrison Keillor read them a poem on his five-minute program The Writer's Almanac. This is the first anthology of poems from the show, chosen by Keillor for their wit, their frankness, their passion, and their "utter clarity in the face of everything else a person has to deal with at 7 a.m." They are just as they purport to be, good poems, from Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, Robert Burns and Robert Frost, as well as from such contemporary greats as Howard Nemerov, Charles Bukowski, Donald Hall, Billy Collins, Robert Bly, and Sharon Olds. "A pretty dandy candy jar. The range of poets is wide, the tone is unpretentious, and the poems are all ... good."—SFChronicle
