I live in Ames, IA wher Kooser grew up. He came to visit this spring, and hosted several poetry readings and poetry contests for kids. He looks and sounds like his poetry--dignified, earthy and accessible. This post must be a God-thing. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of my father's death, so today marks 52 weeks since his passing at the age of 77 of lung cancer. I wonder if I'll count Thursdays for the rest of my life. A year ago, I tried to write a poem, but couldn't. Maybe it's time. Thanks, Hugo. I live in Ames, IA wher Kooser grew up.
