Treasure trove? A cliched phrase, sure, but that's precisely what this book is. Essays and poems from A-listers like John Updike, Rick Bass, Louise Gluck, Diane Ackerman and Seamus Heaney, to name only a few. My favorite piece here, "The God of the Gaps," is by a writer I wasn't familiar with previously: the profound and learned David Berlinski. Also included, a brand-new translation of Dante's Inferno, Canto I, by Washington University's own Mary Jo Bang.

I love Ted Kooser's writing. Whether it's poetry or prose, he's a master of perfect clarity and direct feeling. He's also a Midwesterner who hymns the beauty of our special part of the country. Lights is a brief (60 pages), lovely memoir about his mother's side of the family. Perfection.
