'Weather Central, Ted Kooser's latest book, reinforces his title as poet laureate of Nebraska, whether the governor has gotten around to making the appointment or not...His poems have the beauty and wisdom of something closely tied to the soil...perfect combinations of imagery and music, American poetry, the real thing.'--Reagen Upshaw, The Bloomsbury ReviewReview Quotes
Weather Central, Ted Kooser's latest book, reinforces his title as poet laureate of Nebraska, whether the governor has gotten around to making the appointment or not. . . .His poems have the beauty and wisdom of something closely tied to the soil. . . .perfect combinations of imagery and music, American Poetry, the real thing.-- "The Bloomsbury Review"
A stunning book. Kooser's very best. Poems of a mature poet whose craft and vision merge in a way seldom seen today.-- "Northeast"
Ted Kooser's poems have long given voice to the American midwest. In Weather Central, his first collection in almost a decade, Kooser ranges over familiar territory, but maturity and full command of his craft now allow him to risk a wider scope, both in subject matter and form. . . . Weather Central forecasts the best of Ted Kooser's poetry: a steady voice, arresting and memorable images, and vigorous play in metaphor that can nourish the human soul.-- "Southern Humanities Review"
Will one day rank alongside of Edgar Lee Masters, Robert Frost, and William Carlos Williams.-- "Minneapolis Tribune"
