Book Synopsis
Red Stilts finds Pulitzer Prize-winner and former U. S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser at the top of his imaginative and storytelling powers. Here are the richly metaphorical, imagistically masterful, clear and accessible poems for which he has become widely known. Kooser writes for an audience of everyday readers and believes poets ?need to write poetry that doesn?t make people feel stupid.? Each poem in Red Stilts strives to reveal the complex beauties of the ordinary, of the world that?s right under our noses. Right under Kooser?s nose is rural America, most specifically the Great Plains, with its isolated villages, struggling economy, hard-working people and multiple beauties that surpass everything wrecked, wrong, or in error.
