Ted Kooser, who worked in insurance for thirty-five years before becoming U.S. Poet Laureate, turns 85 today. Many happy returns of the day to him, and happy reading to the rest of you!
Thank you for this poem, today and the explanation. You explain poems similar to the stlye of my English professors in college. This one spoke to my heart as someone who has experienced loss. It was beautiful, poignant and made me wonder about this Laureate insurance man.
