Ted Kooser, poet laureate

Ted Kooser is the current Poet Laureate of the United States.   As part of his mission to make poetry more available to Americans, he writes a very brief "column" on a single short poem each week. 

The columns are published at the American Life in Poetry site.  As of this date, the site archive holds fifty-three columns.
