    About this audiobook

    In his second collection of poetry (the first 77 Love Sonnets) Keillor writes-with his characteristic combination of humor and insight-on love, modernity, nostalgia, politics, religion, and other facets of daily life. Keillor's verses are charming and playful, locating sublime song within the humdrum of being human.
