Flying At Night: Poems 1965-1985 (Pitt Poetry Series) | Classic American Poetry Collection for Nighttime Reading & Literary Study

Just the perfect light but profound poetry collection that you can return to again and again for its profound, humorous and crystalline musings.These are poems that seem both unique, yet somehow familiar, even though the same poem can take a different meaning each time it is read.There is a simple sometimes dusty tone to most of these poems, befitting the author's farmland background. But even a city boy like me can relate to them for their surprising clarity and depth. This a go to book for me (yes I have the paper version), for trips to the beach or park or when I'm done with the Sunday papers on a gloaming winter day. Mr. Kooser is a poet for the people, as long as the people take the leisurely time, as each poem seems to be written, to allow it to reveal its simple beauty and depth.
