Would I feel this way if he weren't a Poet Laureate or a local Nebraskan? Probably not.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-32980456932329670072008-05-02T11:16:00.000-07:002008-05-02T11:16:00.000-07:00I'd rather have the Churchill, too. :I'd rather have the Churchill, too. :<) I wanted to like Kooser, but I don't. In fact, he was nearby this winter and I didn't even go. I was going to, because I thought I 'should', and Tom asked, how come if I don't even like him, and I realized, yeah, that's right. I liked that one poem our friend, Mary, shared with us about the abandoned farm, but that's really it. I know that for me, there are poets I love and others I don't, just like fiction or non-fiction writers. Then there are some I can appreciate, but don't want to read.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-91056198811497382162008-04-29T13:24:00.000-07:002008-04-29T13:24:00.000-07:00Nat - I don't think it's ever happened.

Years ago, we might have bought each other the same cd for Christmas, but I couldn't tell you which one it was.<BR/><BR/>Iliana - I thought so.
