* Minneapolis Tribune *Ted Kooser's poems have long given voice to the American midwest. In Weather Central, his first collection in almost a decade, Kooser ranges over familiar territory, but maturity and full command of his craft now allow him to risk a wider scope, both in subject matter and form. . . . Weather Central forecasts the best of Ted Kooser's poetry: a steady voice, arresting and memorable images, and vigorous play in metaphor that can nourish the human soul.
* Southern Humanities Review *Weather Central, Ted Kooser's latest book, reinforces his title as poet laureate of Nebraska, whether the governor has gotten around to making the appointment or not. . . .His poems have the beauty and wisdom of something closely tied to the soil. . . .perfect combinations of imagery and music, American Poetry, the real thing.
* The Bloomsbury Review *A stunning book. Kooser's very best. Poems of a mature poet whose craft and vision merge in a way seldom seen today.
