Description



About the Book



The Windflower Home Almanac of Poetry is an anthology of poems originally selected by Ted Kooser in 1980 and published by his Windflower Press, a small, independent publisher that specialized in poetry from the Great Plains. The collection contains almost two hundred poems from dozens of poets and was designed to resemble a commonplace farmer's almanac.



Book Synopsis



The Windflower Home Almanac of Poetry is an anthology of poems originally selected by Ted Kooser in 1980 and published by his Windflower Press, a small, independent publisher that specialized in poetry from the Great Plains. The collection contains almost two hundred poems from dozens of poets and was designed to resemble a commonplace farmer's almanac.

The Windflower Press was the sole operation of Kooser, who was later named the first U.S. poet laureate from the Great Plains. His press gained national recognition for highlighting the work of the region's young poets, and its Windflower Home Almanac of Poetry earned notice from the Library Journal as one of its era's best small press books.



Review Quotes




"If the Great Plains could speak, these poems would constitute its definitive and forceful utterance."--Larry D. Thomas, Roundup Magazine
