The Writing Center has a long
tradition of collecting quotes and excerpts from the various writers of prose
and poetry who visit Coe College and hanging them in the Writing Center. One
such excerpt—November 22—comes from
Ted Kooser.
Ted Kooser is a native Iowan, and
before his visit to Coe College he served as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry
to the Library of Congress for two years (2004-2006). In 2006, he also received
the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his poetry collection entitled Delights & Shadows. He is a
relatively prolific poet, and for any interested in entering the realm of
poetry, he has a book entitled The Poetry Home Repair Manual: Practical Advice for Beginning Poets which may be of
use.
