Another wads cirrocumulus into a basket woven of sunbeams. Still others carry away armloads of altocumulus and drag moth-eaten gray blankets of stratus past. At last, a colossal cumulonimbus sweeps in, squeezing out the light to herald . . . rain! What emerges is a sky like a great green laundry basket with a rainbow for a handle. Full of wit and brilliant linguistic surprises, this poetic romp by former United States Poet Laureate Ted Kooser is as playfully theatrical as it is evocative. Matt Myers's dynamic artwork stages the weather with aplomb, capturing the distinct mood of each show-stopping sky and crafting a meteorological drama of epic proportions. Like a good, rousing rainstorm, \u003ci\u003eSeven Skies All at Once\u003c\/i\u003e calls eloquently on our senses, inviting us to pause and reflect on the ever-changing wonders all around.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Kooser\u003c\/b\u003e was the US Poet Laureate from 2004 to 2006 and won a Pulitzer Prize for his book of poems \u003ci\u003eDelights \u0026amp; Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e.
