Member Allen S. suggested that the Men's Book Club try something new by reading a poetry selection, his pick is Delights and Shadows, by Ted Kooser. He is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry and served as United States Poet Laureate (2004-2006). He is a poet who works toward clarity and accessibility, so that each distinctive poem appears to be as fresh and bright and spontaneous as a good watercolor painting. Kooser is a haiku-like imagist who imbues his poems with "tender wisdom,” and draws inspiration from the overlooked details of daily life.
