Ted Kooser's Poetic World
February 25, 2012
From 2005. How does one achieve a little bit of order within the chaos of life? Discover the world of the United States 13th Poet Laureate and his ambitious goal of making poetry an everyday experience for us all. Ted Kooser made his living working in the life insurance business. For over forty years he rose at 4:30 A.M. every day, and wrote. His poetry reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary. In TED KOOSER'S POETIC WORLD we unveil his writing history and his role as the U.S. Poet Laureate. And we hear poetry - from Kooser, singer/songwriter John Prine and five other diverse, inspiring, everyday poets. TED KOOSER'S POETIC WORLD is quiet refuge from the chaos that surrounds us--a place to examine who we are, why we are here, where we are going.
