<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Keillor, the editor of "Good Poems" and "Good Poems for Hard Times," host of "The Writer's Almanac," and all-around arbiter of fine American poetry, introduces another inspiring collection by a range of poets, organized by regions of America.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Another wonderful poetry anthology from Garrison Keillor-rooted in the American landscape. </b><p> </p><p>Greatness comes in many forms, and as Garrison Keillor demonstrates daily on <i>The Writer's Almanac</i>, the most affecting poems in the canon are in plain English. Third in Keillor's series of anthologies, <i>Good Poems, American Places</i> brings together poems that celebrate the geography and culture that bind us together as a nation. Think of these poems as postcards from the road, by poets who've gotten carried away by a particular place-a town in Kansas, a kitchen window in Nantucket, a Manhattan street, a farm in western Minnesota. Featuring famous poets and brash unknowns alike, the verses in this exhilarating collection prove that the heart can be exalted anywhere in America.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Garrison Keillor, author of nearly a dozen books, is founder and host of the acclaimed radio show <b>A Prairie Home Companion</b> and the daily program <b>The Writer's Almanac</b>.
