Book Reviews of Good Poems for Hard Times
Book Review: Another Keillor 'must' read
Summary: 4 Stars
Nothing that Garrison Keillor writes should be ignored. A good percentage of what he writes, reads just as he sounds on his unique show 'A Prairie Home Companion', which is to say, great. Another reviewer has noted the quality and importance of his Introduction. Ditto ! Me too. This book will not make you feel good. It will make you feel better, if you are down and out and want to know that you are not crazy, that there is a lot of bad stuff out there, people are in the same boat, it's a big boat, and there are life preservers. Some of these poems are life preservers. Some others may make you want to go overboard. Avoid this urge. Not healthy. "These poems describe a common life. It is good to know about this. I hope you take courage from it." Well done, Mr keillor, well said.
