One of the most popular contemporary poets, Billy Collins’ twelve collections include The Trouble with Poetry and The Rain in Portugal. He’s famous for conversational poems that welcome readers with humor but often slip into profound observations on the everyday, reading and writing, and poetry itself. He’ll talk about his work, and read from his newest collection, Whale Day, and other books.
