Ted Kooser and Connie Wanek
Item #:

Price:
$19.99
In Marshmallow Clouds celebrated poets Ted Kooser along
with Connie Wanek, and illustrator Richard Jones, explore
figures of speech in a spirited and magical way—and invite our
imaginations out to play.
A freewheeling romp through the world of imagery and metaphor,
this quietly startling collection of thirty poems, framed by
the four elements, is about art and reality, fact and fancy.
Look around: what do you see? A clown balancing a pie in a
tree, or an empty nest perched on a leafless branch? As
poet
Connie Wanek alludes to in her afterword—a lively dialogue
with former US Poet Laureate Ted Kooser—sometimes the simplest
sights and sounds “summon our imaginations” and cry out to be
clothed in the alchemical language of poetry. This compendium
of the fleeting and unexpected turns the everyday—turtles,
trees, and tadpoles; cow pies, lazy afternoons, and pillowy
white marshmallows—into poetic gold.
Book, 72 pages.
