Download Good Poems: Selected and Introduced by Garrison Keillor AudioBook Free
Each day people tune in to The Writer's Almanac on public radio and listen to Garrison Keillor read them a poem. And here, for the first time, is an anthology of poems from the show, chosen by the narrator for their wit, their frankness, their love, their "utter clearness in the face of everything else one has to cope with at 7 a.m." Good Poems includes poems about fans, children, failure, everyday life, fatality, and transcendence. It features the work of common poets, such as Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Robert Frost, as well as the work of contemporary greats such as Howard Nemerov, Charles Bukowski, Donald Hall, Billy Collins, Robert Bly, and Sharon Olds.
