Poems By Ted Kooser
Scroll down past the first poem and there are about 14 more poems...if you like that sort of thing. He is characterized as an elegiacal, or pastoral quotidian. Personally I don't care for his poems as they seem to lack much rhythmic quality and appear to read as run-on sentences, such as "A Blind Woman."
"A Blind Woman" by Ted Kooser
She had turned her face up into
a rain of light, and came on smiling.
The light trickled down her forehead
and into her eyes. It ran down
into the neck of her sweatshirt
and wet the white tops of her breasts.
Her brown shoes splashed on
into the light. The moment was like
a circus wagon rolling before her
through puddles of light, a cage on wheels,
and she walked fast behind it,
exuberant, curious, pushing her cane
through the bars, poking and prodding,
while the world cowered back in a corner.
I would like to see what he has to say in terms of advice, but I am not dropping 9 bucks for it. Why not just throw use some of the more salient ones Ray. Do a book review.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
