The As the Worm Turns Book Discussion Group will discuss Lights on a Ground of Darkness\: An Evocation of a Place and Time by Ted Kooser (Bison Books\, $10.95).  Like the yellow\, pink\, and blue irises that had been transplanted from house to house over the years\, the stories of poet Ted Kooser's family had been handed down until\, as his mother lay ill and dying\, he felt an urgency to write them down. With a poet's eye for detail\, Kooser captures the beauty of the landscape and the vibrancy of his mother's Iowa family\, the Mosers\, in precise\, evocative language. The center of the family's love is Kooser's uncle\, Elvy\, a victim of cerebral palsy. Kooser's grandparents\, their kin\, and the activities and pleasures of this extended family spin out and around the armature of Elvy's blessed life. Kooser has said that writing this book was the most important work he has ever undertaken because it was his attempt to keep these beloved people alive against the relentless erosion of time.  Barry Combs will facilitate the discussion.  Space is limited\, so please call to reserve your place.
