Description
A Billy Collins poem is instantly recognisable.
“Using simple, understandable language,” notes USA Today, the two-term US Poet Laureate “captures ordinary life – its pleasure, its discontents, its moments of sadness and of joy.”
His everyman approach to writing resonates with readers everywhere and generates fans who would otherwise never give a poem a second glance. Now, in this stunning new collection, Collins touches on a greater array of subjects – love, death, solitude, youth, and aging – delving deeper than ever before.
