Pulitzer Win Boosts Poet Laureate

US Poet Laureate Ted Kooser’s win of a Pulitzer Monday will boost exposure and sales of his work. Kooser’s publisher Michael Wiegers said that, “in the wake of yesterday’s announcement, he received orders from book distributors for an additional 10,000 copies of “Delights,” which has already sold some 30,000 copies. “You’re looking at selling 40,000 copies of a poetry book in a world where you’d be happy if you sell 3,000.”
