Garrison KeillorAmerican author, storyteller, humorist, and radio personality Garrison Keillor is best known as the creator of radio variety show "A Prairie Home Companion," which he hosted from 1974 to 2016, and which was adapted as a feature-length film starring Mryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan, and Woody Harrelson in 2006. During the 40+ year run of "A Prairie Home Companion," Keillor enthralled listeners with stories from his imaginary hometown of Lake Wobegon, which also served as the setting for many of his novels including Lake Wobgeon Days, Pontoon, and Boom Town. Keillor is also a champion of poetry; he has curated three collections of his favorite poems (Good Poems, Good Poems for Hard Times, and Good Poems, American Places) and published his own light verse. He also hosted a five-minute daily poetry & history program called The Writer' s Almanac for over 25 years. Read More Read Less
