Each day, millions of public radio listeners across America tuned in to The Writer's Almanac to hear Garrison Keillor read a poem. Invariably, it's a good poem: wise or witty, soothing or passionate, possessed, in Keillor's words, of "utter clarity in the face of everything else a person has to deal with at 7 a.m." This anthology contains classic and contemporary poems selected and introduced by Keillor.
