Description
In this collection, former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins turns his signature wit and keen observation to the everyday and the extraordinary. With a voice that is both accessible and profound, Collins explores themes of travel, art, love, and mortality, finding poetry in the mundane details of life. His poems range from the whimsically surreal, imagining Shakespeare in first class, to the elegiac, reflecting on the passing of fellow poets. Through imaginative leaps and a masterful command of language, Collins invites readers to pause and appreciate the subtle beauties and profound questions that surround us.
