Description

Describes with exquisite detail, humour, and savvy the place he calls home in the Bohemian Alps of southeastern Nebraska. Memories of his grandmother's cooking are juxtaposed with reflections about the old-fashioned outhouse on his property Reminds all of us that the closing of local schools, thoughtless county weed control, and irresponsible housing development destroy more than just the view Ted Kooser describes with exquisite detail and humour the place he calls home in the Bohemian Alps of southeastern Nebraska. Like many other people in this rural area, he has what he calls "wolf vision" - he sees every change in the landscape around him. Nothing is too big or too small for his attention. Memories of his grandmother's cooking are juxtaposed with reflections about the old-fashioned outhouse on his property.

Author Biography:
