U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser reads Barn Owl

Published: Oct. 12, 2007, 9 p.m.

For 20 years, former U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser wrote a new poem each Valentine's Day. He sent these as postcards to his wife as well as friends of his across the country. In 2006, Ted wrote the last one in the series and collected the poems into a limited edition book entitled, "Out of that Moment." In this video podcast, Ted reads a Valentine's Day poem that still has a rural theme, "Barn Owl."
