“Bison Books has reissued Ted Kooser's <i>Blizzard Voices</i>, and fans of the poet will find it a must-have. In a collection that has been presented as reader’s theater, Kooser evokes the voices of different people—men, women, teachers, children—taken by surprise when the ‘Children’s Blizzard’ of 1888 swept across the Midwestern plains. . . . The book is short but powerful.”—<i>Omaha World-Herald</i>

“In just 64 pages, Kooser brings the people of the great blizzard back to life. You can feel the chill in these pages, hear the voices as if you and the speaker are huddled next to the stove, talking of recent events while the windows rattle in the January wind.”—<i>Nebraska Life</i>

“Kooser is a master of communicating through poetry. His clarity of structure and word choices makes poetry enjoyable and readable.”—<i>Oklahoma News Weekly</i>
