Billy Collins's poetry has been described by Gerald Stern as "heartbreakingly beautiful." Annie Proulx admits, "I have never before felt possessive about a poet, but I am fiercely glad that Billy Collins is ours." The New York Times calls him simply "the real thing." Over the past decade, Collins has garnered critical acclaim and broad popular appeal.
This, Collins’s fourth book of poems, is now available again. Remarkable for their wry, inquisitive voice and their sheer imaginative range, these poems are probing explorations - journeys into the unexpected.
