Delightfully universal, Raft by Pulitzer Prizewinner Ted Kooser travels the Midwest landscape, attuned to lifes shared experiences and emotionsillness, aging, beauty, and love.Raft is our fourth collection of poetry from Pulitzer Prizewinner and former U.S. Poet Laureate, Ted Kooser. Open in his desire to write for the everyday reader, these poems maintain the openhanded and accessible style that thousands have come to love. Yet, deeply imagistic and metaphorically rich, Raft shows us that even the simplest of objects, the simplest of actions, can become a portal. A boy feeding a goldfish becomes a meditation on loneliness. Scraps of gauze open the door to a study on happiness. Both local and delightfully universal, Raft travels the Midwest landscape, attuned to the shared experiences and emotions of lifeillness and aging, beauty and love. Some poems, nostalgiawrapped, cradle elegies for lost family and friends. Adrift on life rafts of language, this book is a lesson in intentional observation, a celebration of the small, quiet wonders of life.
