Another wads cirrocumulus into a basket woven of sunbeams. Still others carry away armloads of altocumulus and drag moth-eaten gray blankets of stratus past. At last, a colossal cumulonimbus sweeps in, squeezing out the light to herald ... rain! What emerges is a sky like a great green laundry basket with a rainbow for a handle. Full of wit and brilliant linguistic surprises, this poetic romp by former United States Poet Laureate Ted Kooser is as playfully theatrical as it is evocative. Matt Myers's dynamic artwork stages the weather with aplomb, capturing the distinct mood of each show-stopping sky and crafting a meteorological drama of epic proportions. Like a good, rousing rainstorm, Seven Skies All at Once calls eloquently on our senses, inviting us to pause and reflect on the ever-changing wonders all around"--]]></description><link>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3917762</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3917762</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kooser, Ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3917762040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781536229004/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delights & Shadows]]></title><link>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C1106030</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C1106030</guid><category><![CDATA[DAISY]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kooser, Ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1106030040</comments><format>DAISY</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Local Wonders]]></title><link>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C285681</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C285681</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kooser, Ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/285681040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Seasons in the Bohemian Alps</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780803278110/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marshmallow Clouds]]></title><description><![CDATA["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. A brilliant and timeless collaboration that evokes both the mystery and grandeur of the natural world and the cozy, mundane moments of daily life, this exquisitely illustrated collection is the go-to gift book of the season for poetry fans of all ages"--]]></description><link>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3133435</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3133435</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kooser, Ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3133435040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Two Poets at Play Among Figures of Speech</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781536203035/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mr. Posey's New Glasses]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mr. Posey is feeling gloomy. Everything seems dull. Maybe he needs new glasses? Perhaps a trip to the Cheer Up Thrift Shop with his energetic young neighbour, Andy, will help. But when the duo try on the glasses in the shops barrel, they're in for a big surprise. One pair with stars for frames shows only constellations in a night sky. Round frames reveal a world all aswirl, while a heart-shaped pair makes everything pink. And as soon as Mr. Posey puts on the cat-eye framed glasses, fierce dogs start chasing him. No, thank you! But when Andy makes a simple observation, Mr. Posey's view opens to a whole new world -- and finally everything is brighter, different, and exciting.]]></description><link>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2925399</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C2925399</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kooser, Ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2925399040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780763696092/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Splitting An Order]]></title><description><![CDATA[Offers a collection of poems that explore the complexities of ordinary people and everyday places.]]></description><link>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C1559828</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C1559828</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kooser, Ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1559828040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781556594694/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delights & Shadows]]></title><description><![CDATA[The author, a Poet Laureate of the United States, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, is a master of metaphor, a poet who deftly connects disparate elements of the world and communicates with absolute precision. Critics call him a "haiku-like imagist" and his poems have been compared to Chekov's short stories. In these poems, the author draws inspiration from the overlooked details of daily life. Quotidian objects like a pegboard, creamed corn and a forgotten salesman's trophy help reveal the remarkable in what before was a merely ordinary world.]]></description><link>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C151203</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C151203</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kooser, Ted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/151203040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781556592010/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
