Publisher Comments:

Braided Creek contains more than 300 poems exchanged in this longstanding correspondence. Wise, wry, and penetrating, the poems touch upon numerous subjects, from the natural world to the nature of time. Harrison and Kooser decided to remain silent over who wrote which poem, allowing their voices, ideas, and images to swirl and merge into this remarkable suite of lyrics.

Each time I go outside the world

is different. This has happened

all my life.

*

The moon put her hand

over my mouth and told me

to shut up and watch.

*

A nephew rubs the sore feet

of his aunt,

and the rope that lifts us all toward grace

creaks on the pulley.

*

Under the storyteller's hat

are many heads, all troubled.
