He definitely has the perfect voice for his poems.

I LOVE The Lanyard.

Absolutely wonderful to listen to

Ripples that move inward, toward the rock dropped in a pond...what a unique unto brilliant mode to envision vulnerability

One of my favorites.

billy collins is the only poet today who can be understood by anybody...that's why i love him.

Enjoyed.. here’s one of my favorite Charles Bukowski poems titled “ Peace” PEACE I thought the dove was the bird of peace but here they were shooting them out of the brush and climbing up the sides of mountains and banging them down; and everywhere the doves went there were the hunters blasting and beaming and blasting, and one man who didn’t in the slightest resemble a dove was shot in the shoulder; and there were many complaints that the doves were smaller and scarcer than last year, but the way they fell through the air when you stung the life out of them was the same; and I was there too but I couldn’t shoot anything with a paintbrush; and a couple of them came over to my canvas and stood and stood and stood until I finally said, for God’s sake go look at Picasso and Rembrandt, go look at Klee and Gauguin, listen to a symphony by Mahler, and if you get anything out of that come back and stare at my canvas! what the hell’s wrong with him? the one guy said.. he’s nuts. they’re all nuts, the other guy said. anyhow, I got my 10 doves. me too, his buddy said, let’s.go home: we can have them in the frying pan by 2:30. -Charles Bukowski

i think the first one he read was the best out of the three...

Saw Billy Collins a few years ago at the Midwest Literary Arts Festival. Does anyone know how I can find a schedule for his readings? I am having a lot of trouble!
