Synopsis: With a distinct voice, a spare elegance, and accessible language, Americas two-term Poet Laureate has opened the door to poetry for those to whom it might otherwise have remained closed. Through simple turns of phrase, Billy Collins shows that good poetry doesnt have to be obscure or incomprehensible-which is perhaps the real trouble with most serious poetry. This dazzling collection explores boyhood, jazz, love, the passage of time, and, of course, writing. Gorgeous, funny, and empathetic, Billy Collinss poetry is a window through which we see our lives as if for the first time. Book jacket.
