Cotton Candy : Poems Dipped Out of the Air, Paperback / softback Book

Cotton Candy : Poems Dipped Out of the Air Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

2023 Midwest Book Award finalist “Poems dipped out of the air” describes the manner in which Ted Kooser composed the poems in Cotton Candy, the result of his daily routine of getting up long before dawn, sitting with coffee, pen, and notebook, and writing whatever drifts into his mind.

Whether those words and images are serious or just plain silly, Kooser tries not to censor himself.

His objective is to catch whatever comes to him, to snatch it out of the air in words, rhythms, and cadences, the way a cotton candy vendor dips an airy puff out of a cloud of spun sugar and hands it to his customer.

Poems written in fun and now shared with the reader, Kooser’s playful and magical confections charm and delight.
