I am pleased to learn that a book that I truly loved, "Gilead" by Marilyn Robinson has earned the Pulitzer Prize. It's a great book with deep messages that I am still enjoying thinking about.
I also learned today that Ted Kooser has been named "US Poet Laureate". I love his poems and I appreciate his approach...he wrote many of his poems on postcards to a friend. When asked by literary types why he used this "media" he simply responded, "because they were cheaper than mailing a letter".
Gotta love a guy like that.
