Beschreibung
Radio personality and author Garrison Keillor delights and astounds in this hybrid memoir/poetry collection that combines anecdotes from his childhood and his "A Prairie Home Companion" years with literary limericks, darkly humorous limericks, extended limericks (aka limericks with porches), and so much more.
Limericks are the poems that can be written in the empty spaces between life, Keillor posits, and this compact book illustrates the full range of the form's utility: thank-you notes to doctors, odes to "Prairie Home" performers, postcard greetings from exotic places, succinct biographies of favorite writers, and scribbles in the margins of Sunday church programs. Readers who have always pined for the perfect limerick hinging on the place name "Schenectady" will at long last be placated. Meanwhile, longtime Keillor fans will gain insight into a whole new side of the bestselling author, whose obsession with limericks goes all the way back to when the bespectacled, lanky youth wearing hand-me-down jeans (from his sister) recited to his Anoka High School class:
There was a young man of Anoka
Who tried to write a great limerick.
He tried and he tried
And some were not bad,
But something seemed to be missing.

Über den Autor
American author, storyteller, humorist, and radio personality Garrison Keillor is best known as the creator of radio variety show "A Prairie Home Companion," which he hosted from 1974 to 2016, and which was adapted as a feature-length film starring Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan, and Woody Harrelson in 2006. During the 40+ year run of "A Prairie Home Companion," Keillor enthralled listeners with stories from his imaginary hometown of Lake Wobegon, which also served as the setting for many of his novels including Lake Wobgeon Days, Pontoon, and Boom Town. Keillor is also a champion of poetry; he has curated three collections of his favorite poems (Good Poems, Good Poems for Hard Times, and Good Poems, American Places) and published his own light verse. He also hosted a five-minute daily poetry & history program called The Writer' s Almanac for over 25 years.
