Ted Kooser and the “American Life in Poetry” Project


I’m a huge, huge fan of ex Poet Laureate Ted Kooser (2004 – 2006). While in the position, he launched a project entitled American Life in Poetry, a free weekly column that is sent out to newspapers, online publications, and anyone who wants to receive poetry in their Inbox.

The recent poem I posted by Sue Ellen Thompson is from Kooser’s column. Some days I get too busy to read the weekly emails, but when one catches me… it really catches me.

If you’re interested, I would definitely recommend subscribing. And if you’re not familiar with Kooser’s poetry, I’ve posted about him on several occassions:
