O, What a Luxury: Verses Lyrical, Vulgar, Pathetic & Profound

By Garrison Keillor

Book Overview

O What a Luxury: Verses Lyrical, Vulgar, Pathetic & Profound is the first poetry collection written by Garrison Keillor, the celebrated radio host of A Prairie Home Companion . Although he has edited several anthologies of his favorite poems, this volume forges a new path for him, as a poet of light verse. He 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.
