O, What a Luxury: Verses Lyrical, Vulgar, Pathetic & Profound

O What a Luxury: Verses Lyrical, Vulgar, Pathetic & Profound is the first poetry collection written by Garrison Keillor, the celebrated radio host of A Prairie Home Companion. Although he has edited several anthologies of his favorite poems, this volume forges a new path for him, as a poet of light verse. He writes with his characteristic combination of humor and insight on love, modernity, nostalgia, politics, religion, and other facets of daily life. Keillor s verses are charming and playful, locating sublime song within the humdrum of being human.
