A delicious collection in every way,

This review is from: Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes: Selected Poems (Paperback)
Ah, the pleasure Billy Collins brings his readers! This collection is spilling forth with gems: Wry poems. Gentle ones. Discreetly but breathtakingly erotic poems, as with the title poem. Poems that are delicate. Elegant and elegiac poems. Poems that make one chuckle. Poems that make one shake with laugther. Pointed, ironic, bemused, observing, warm poems. And windows. Lots of windows.

Who can resist anything by Billy Collins?,

This review is from: Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes: Selected Poems (Paperback)
I suppose it's possible but not his collection in particular. There are poems in Taking Off...that I return to time and again. A wonderful achievement. No wonder he was our poet laureate.

This review is from: Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes: Selected Poems (Paperback)
Collins is a poet who can put a smile on your face and pierce your heart and stop your breath, all in the same poem. He's disarmingly dangerous. Beware.
