Out of great suffering comes beauty
Saginaw, Mich., might be sagging but we can admire it for producing poet and teacher Theodore Roethke, and for preserving his boyhood home.
By Garrison Keillor [2008-02-13]

  • We could use a speech, sir. . .

    Dear Garrison;

    On your show you talk about the Shenandoah Valley from time to time, how about actually coming out here? I even have a venue. James Madison University. I even have a crowd waiting to listen. Call us. You won't have to stay in the flea bag motels, and no one will tell you "you were not our first choice". Wanna see some other "heartland"? No poets, but lots of real, beating hearts. Please come.

    -- Metalman
