Synopsis
In the closing poem of this new collection, a spider brushes globes of dew from her web, "one world at a time." Since Ted Kooser's poems first began to appear in print, some twenty years ago, they have moved, as he has said, 'from job to job, from love to love," with great patience and care, as if each poem were a miniature world that needed completion before being left to stand alone.

Softcover. First edition. An association copy, inscribed to on the half-title page: "For Jim Harrison--Ted, 11/30/90." His seventh collection, uncommon signed, with no other copies available online as of this writing. Kooser was Poet Laureate from 2004-2006, and he won the Pulitzer while in that office, in 2005. A fantastic association as Kooser and Harrison were longtime friends and correspondents; their book Braided Creek: A Conversation in Poetry from Copper Canyon shares the haiku-like poetry they sent back and forth for years. In a recent anniversary edition of that book, poet Naomi Shihab Nye writes, "Braided Creek: A Conversation in Poetry is one of the dearest, most appealing books ever published. These poems are tiny delicious American haiku affectionately exchanged between two friends This slim volume acts as a palate-cleanser, a spirit-booster, a little rocket-ship of wonders." In 2001, Kooser also published the book Winter Morning Walks: 100 Postcards to Jim Harrison with Carnegie Mellon Press. About fine in wraps. Seller Inventory # 1811
