About this Item

8vo. Stiff cream pictorial wrappers. 79pp. Fine. Outstanding first edition of these poems by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Iowa-born poet (born 1939) and Poet Laureate Consultant to the Library of Congress (2004-06). Karl Shapiro introduces Kooser's third book, and this copy bears a delightul author inscription and drawing on the title page: On a horizon bearing a distant windmill and above that soaring clouds and sailing birds, it is inscribed within those clouds "For Dick Saylor -- / I know your Dad -- / Ted Kooser," all in black fineline. "Dad" may have been fellow Nebraskan Darrell Saylor, but the connection is unclear. A charming inscription and sketch, in any case. This early title appears to be the only Kooser title he inscribed with sketches, for other copies so inscribed to poets Elizabeth Bishop and Theodore Enslin have surfaced. Quite scarce and unusual.
