Description
In this fresh collection of sixty poems, Billy Collins turns his keen, companionable gaze toward the joys and mysteries of daily life, finding wonder in what most of us overlook. With his trademark lyrical informality, he builds each poem from clear-eyed observation—then lets it drift toward a “whiff of mystery,” where the ordinary becomes newly strange. From small, vivid scenes to surprising leaps of imagination, Collins explores how beauty and irony coexist in everyday moments, inviting readers to slow down and look again. Equal parts witty, wry, and tender, these poems celebrate the peripheral details of experience while asking what it means for a life—and a poem—to be both distinct and strangely recurring.
