In this collection of 60 new poems, former Poet Laureate of the United States Billy Collins writes about the beauties and ironies of everyday experience. Common and uncommon events are captured here with equal fascination, be it a cat leaning to drink from a swimming pool, a nurse calling a name in a waiting room, or an astronaut reciting Emily Dickinson from outer space. With his trademark lyrical informality, Collins asks us to slow down and glimpse the elevated in the ordinary, the odd in the familiar. It’s no surprise that The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal both call Collins one of America’s favorite poets.Collins will be in conversation with Mary Jo Bang, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning Poet.
