Weather Central

'Weather Central, Ted Kooser's latest book, reinforces his title as poet laureate of Nebraska, whether the governor has gotten around to making the appointment or not...His poems have the beauty and wisdom of something closely tied to the soil...perfect combinations of imagery and music, American poetry, the real thing.'--Reagen Upshaw, The Bloomsbury Review
