Ted Kooser book signing Jan. 30

U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser will discuss his new book, Poetry Home Repair Manual; Practical Advice for Beginning Poets, at a Lee Booksellers Edgewood Center book signing at 2 p.m. Jan. 30. The store is located at 5500 S. 56th St.

In his new book, he uses his decades of experience to teach would-be poets his craft. The author uses examples from his own and other contemporary poetry to help make his points.

The book is "marked by impeccable clarity and focus of dedication, and the absolute integrity that characterize Kooser's other works," said George Garrett, the Poet Laureate of Virginia. "I should also add the important qualities of generous and lively good humor and gentle, thoughtful persuasion."

Released in hardback earlier this month, Poetry Home Repair Manual is published by the University of Nebraska Press.
