I shouldn't admit to gobbling the entire Whale Day and Other Poems (#1,186) by Billy Collins in one sitting, but I did. Plus, I had the pleasure of introducing Billy Collins' poems to several people who were not acquainted with his work.
Did I have a favorite? It would be hard to choose, but Whale Day was so appropriate for the cruise I just took, I could hardly stand it! I also loved The Function of Poetry.
Even if you're like me, and you're not convinced you can love poetry, try reading Billy Collins. His work surprises, delights and makes you think "Huh." What more could you ask for?
