Questions About Angels
Questions About Angels | Billy Collins
12 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Billy Collins has emerged as the most beloved American poet since Robert Frost, garnering critical acclaim and broad popular appeal. Annie Proulx admits, "I have never before felt possessive about a poet, but I am fiercely glad that Billy Collins is ours." This special, limited edition celebrates Billy Collins's years as U.S. Poet Laureate. Questions About Angels--one of the books that helped establish and secure his reputation and popularity during the 1990s--is remarkable for its wry, inquisitive voice and its sheer imaginative range. Edward Hirsch selected this classic book for the National Poetry Series, and each of Collins's poems-from his meditation on forgetfulness to his musings on the behavior of angels-is an exploration of imaginative possibilities. Whether reading him for the first time or the fiftieth, this collector's edition is a must-have for anyone interested in the poet the New York Times calls simply "the real thing."

bromeliad His Masterclass is really great. 5y
Lcsmcat @bromeliad The online one? Or did you take one in person? 5y
bromeliad @Lcsmcat The online one. I was a beta for the class, so I got to plough through it a couple months ago. 5y
TheSpineView 🤩🤩🤩 5y
Lcsmcat @bromeliad Cool! I‘ve been to his readings. Some poets can write but not read; he can do both. 5y

#poetry #ReadingMyselftoSleep #BillyCollins
This poem was included in Billy Collins‘ 1991 book (tagged). Always loved it as it was so me-since childhood have always read before sleep- my whole family did. I have such peaceful memories of my sisters & I (3to a bedroom) chatting then reading ourselves to sleep in quiet, content unison. Resurrected this slim book this Christmas week.

LiteraryinLawrence I love this one! Thanks for reminding me of it. 5y

I interpreted this prompt literally - this is my current poetry collection: books of poetry, anthologies and theory.

Every book of poems by Billy Collins is a winner, and this is no exception. Particular favorites are the title poem and Nostalgia, but they are all gentle, yet funny; accessible, yet deep. In short - Billy Collins. 😀

Some of the Collins and Atwood titles on my #DecemberBookWishlist (#wishlist) that I am #ready to read. I‘d be happy to find any of these #underthetree because I #wantToLaugh at Collins‘ poetry. #survivingDecember #decktheShelves##jingleShelves ##seasonsreadings2017 #decinBooks17 @bookisglee @RealLifeReading @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @bookloo @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck @writerlibrarian

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I need to read more of hers!!! 6y
Lcsmcat @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks My actual “wishlist” to my husband was “Anything by Atwood or Collins that we don‘t already own.” But these six are included in that broad category! 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Lcsmcat that‘s awesome!!! He reads with you? 6y
Lcsmcat @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks We don‘t read the same things, but we read at the same time, sometimes. I‘m the bigger reader but he can name any actor in just about any work you cite. 6y
