Industry Reviews

"Collins reveals the unexpected within the ordinary. He peels back the surface of the humdrum to make the moment new." -The Christian Science Monitor "Billy Collins demonstrates why he is one of our best poets, with his appealing trademark style: a self-deprecating charm, playful wit and unexpected imaginative leaps." -San Antonio Express-News

"By careful observation, Collins spins comic gold from the dross of quotidian suburban life. . . . Chipping away at the surface, he surprises you by scraping to the wood underneath, to some deeper truth." -Entertainment Weekly

"A poet of plentitude, irony, and Augustan grace." -The New Yorker

"It is difficult not to be charmed by Collins, and that in itself is a remarkable literary accomplishment." -The New York Review of Books

"Clever, subtle and engaging." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
