It’s that time of year when the stores seem to explode with boxes of chocolates and little stuffed bears holding hearts with the description of “I love you.”

Celebrate Valentine’s Day a little differently this year with Ted Kooser’s book, Valentines.

For Valentine’s Day 1986, Kooser wrote “Pocket Poem” and sent the tender, thoughtful composition to fifty women friends, starting an annual tradition that would persist for the next twenty-one years.

This collection of valentine poems encompasses all the facets of the holiday: the traditional hearts and candy, the brilliance and purity of love, the quiet beauty of friendship, and the bittersweetness of longing.
