I really enjoyed this book. I read most of the poems in it several times, letting the lines sink in before I moved to the next one. I really like his style. The phrase I‘ll remember most is from “Poetry Workshop Held in a Former Cigar Factory in Key West.” It is this—- “3 flawless poems in a lifetime if you‘re lucky—“ Would that I were that lucky indeed!!

When we read this, the last poem in this collection, my daughter and I were afraid Collins was saying #goodbye. Fortunately, he kept writing. 😀 #poetrymatters @LazyDays

Thank god the poetry section was small!

Lcsmcat Billy Collins is my absolute favorite poet! Have you heard him read? I was afraid he wouldn‘t meet my “inner voice” expectations, but he blew them out of the water! 6y
JamieArc @Lcsmcat I just discovered Billy Collins through another Litten and really like his stuff. I‘ve only read The Art of Drowning. 6y
