Dubbed “the most popular poet in America” by Bruce Weber in the New York Times….
Billy Collins will be on The Poets Corner on Sunday, October 20th (please note the date has changed)
BILLY COLLINS, two term U.S. Poet Laureate, author of thirteen books of poetry, and one of the most popular poets in American today, will join us on The Poets Corner on October 13. He’s known for his conversational, witty, free verse that can make us laugh and tear up at the same time, and open our eyes to a truth about life that we hadn’t thought about before. If you’re new to poetry, this is one of the best introductions you can have. If you’re already a fan, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to listen to Collins read and share his insights into the craft of writing poetry. Join us - you’ll be in for a treat!
“Billy Collins is the class clown in the schoolhouse of American poetry. It's earned him a rare spot between critical respect and wide appeal.” —-Poets.org Academy of American Poets
