Which of Ted Kooser's books contains a poem about anxiety being like a
squirrel?  I heard him read the poem on the radio but cannot find the
poem.

Request for Question Clarification by tutuzdad-ga on 21 Oct 2005 15:59 PDT

Would you like me to give you a link where you can hear him talka and
also read some of his poetry? I haven't listed to it all but it's an
interview that's over 38 minutes long and I do know he reads some of
his work during the chat. He may read the one you are talking about
too, I'm not sure. If you like I can post this as an answer. At the
very least it's an opportunity to hear him speak in person.

Thankyou, but I have heard him read his poetry and like it very much. 
However, I am looking for the specific book in which this poem resides
so that I may buy it and have the text of the poem.  Thanks for
trying.  GFW

The poem appears in "Winter Morning Walks: 100 Postcards to Jim Harrison":
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0887483364/qid=1129934561/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-7660472-9747122?v=glance&s=books

The poem?s title is "December 25th, Sunny and Cleary," and a specific
phrase you may recall is "the daredevil squirrel of worry."

"Cleary" should actually be "Clear."
