My newest Collins! Thanks to @CRR for alerting me to its presence.

CRR Hope you like it! I ordered his book “Aimless Love” tonight! 2y
Lcsmcat @CRR That‘s a good sampler, with poems from several of his volumes. More Than a Woman is a particular favorite. 2y

First time reading Billy Collins, actually first time reading a book of poetry too. I enjoyed the book though it was outside of my norm. This was a collection of shorter poems so I think I will try another of his books to get a fuller picture.

Lcsmcat I missed this one‘s publication! I absolutely adore Collins‘ work. (So much so that I quit scrolling Litsy and ordered it before I wrote this comment.) Thank you! And enjoy discovering his poems. 2y

This book grew on me as I read. I look at it as a book of images, each poem using as little space as possible to plant one picture in my brain. As a result, some were more successful than others. In the end, not my favorite of Collins‘s collections. Nonetheless, a few of the poems were a delight to discover.

I love Billy Collins' poetry, so I very happily picked up a copy of this new volume when it was released. The poems within are much shorter than his readers may be accustomed to seeing from him, but they are still filled with wit and mischief. I prefer longer format poems most of the time but I did enjoy this collection.

A collection of short poems, tiny kernels of wisdom, humor, and irony condensed to their essences from the always entertaining Billy Collins.

[I received an advanced e-copy of this book through #Netgalley. The book is due out in November 2022.]
