DESCRIPTION

The Trouble with Poetry and Other Poems

Playfulness, spare elegance, and wit epitomize the poetry of Billy Collins.With his distinct voice and

accessible language, America&#8217stwo-term Poet Laureate has opened the door to poetry for

countless people for whom it might otherwise remain closed. Like the present book&#8217stitle,

Collins&#8217spoems are filled with mischief, humor, and irony, &#8220Potry speaks to all people, it is

said, but here I would like to address / only those in my own time zone&#8221#8211but also with quiet

observation, intense wonder, and a reverence for the everyday: &#8220Thbirds are in their trees, / the

toast is in the toaster, / and the poets are at their windows. / They are at their windows in every section of

the tangerine of earth&#8211th Chinese poets looking up at the moon, / the American poets gazing out /

at the pink and blue ribbons of sunrise.&#8221Through simple language, Collins shows that good poetry

doesn&#8217thave to be obscure or incomprehensible, qualities that are perhaps the real trouble with

most &#8220seious&#8221poetry: &#8220Bynow, it should go without saying / that what the oven is to

the baker / and the berry-stained blouse to the drycleaner / so the window is to the poet.&#8221In this

dazzling new collection, his first in three years, Collins explores boyhood, jazz, love, the passage of time,

and, of course, writing&#8211thmes familiar to Collins&#8217sfans but made new here. Gorgeous,

funny, and deeply empathetic, Billy Collins&#8217spoetry is a window through which we see our lives as

if for the first time.
