Kemper Campbell, \u003ci\u003eLincoln Journal Star\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ted Kooser is kind, as we know from every essay and poem published in this volume to honor the poet’s retirement from the University of Nebraska. Ted Kooser is accomplished and beloved as teacher, writer, poet, editor, painter and friend. And Ted Kooser leaves the public life of the university as a national poet laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner to become what he has always been, a private man of genius. Long may he thrive and publish, labor in his fields, make and paint the birdhouses that adorn our trees, the gorgeous chicken coop in his yard, and write poems so distilled that our souls bend in delight.”—Hilda Raz, author of \u003ci\u003eLetter from a Place I’ve Never Been: New and Collected Poems, 1986–2020 \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ted Kooser’s poems are as natural and true as anything I know in American poetry. I love his honed-down style, his subtle humor, and his attention to a detail that will shine with kindness and grace by the end of the poem.”—Joyce Sutphen, author of \u003ci\u003eCarrying Water to the Field\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“When I arrived in the U.S., I experienced an immense culture shock that was incredibly difficult to shake off, and it held me back, held my tongue back in my other classes. But each time I was in Ted’s presence, I grew fully into myself in ways that weren’t so apparent in his absence.”—Saddiq Dzukogi, author of \u003ci\u003eYour Crib, My Qibla\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ted’s office was a place of magic for me for the few years that I did tutorials with him. . . . He deeply respected the mystery that arose in the course of writing, the surprising element of the poem that a poet might not see herself, until an astute reader pointed it out.”—Katie Schmid, author of \u003ci\u003eNowhere\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Note     Marco Abel, Jessica Poli, and Timothy Schaffert Acknowledgments    \u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Splitting an Order, Ted Kooser, Copper Canyon, 2017     Diane Glancy\u003cbr\u003e Naomi Shihab Nye     Ted Kooser Is My President Jill McCabe Johnson     What Ted Likes\u003cbr\u003e 1,001 Things to Amend Before You Die—Excerpt 244–258 Marjorie Saiser     Ted Is Writing This Morning Jehanne Dubrow     From Description to Discovery\u003cbr\u003e Pledge Mary K.
