Praise for Billy Collins's Poetry... "Billy Collins writes lovely poems — lovely in a way almost nobody's since Roethke's are. Limpid, gently and consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides." — John Updike "Billy Collins is an American original — a metaphysical poet with a funny bone and a sly, questioning intelligence. He is an ironist of the void, and his poems — witty, playful and beautifully formed — bump up against the deepest human mysteries. — Edward Hirsch

27. Billy Collins- Marginalia billy collins. This poem formerly appeared on this site in What Is Found There, anarchive of contemporary poetry. This poem is Copyrighted by billy collins. http://www.contemporarypoetry.com/dialect/poetry/collinsmarginalia.htm

Read by Billy Collins) Marginalia Sometimes the notes are ferocious, skirmishes against the author raging along the borders of every page in tiny black script. If I could just get my hands on you, Kierkegaard, or Conor Cruise O'Brien, they seem to say, I would bolt the door and beat some logic into your head. Other comments are more offhand, dismissive - "Nonsense." "Please!" "HA!!" - that kind of thing. I remember once looking up from my reading, my thumb as a bookmark, trying to imagine what the person must look like why wrote "Don't be a ninny" alongside a paragraph in The Life of Emily Dickinson. Students are more modest needing to leave only their splayed footprints along the shore of the page. One scrawls "Metaphor" next to a stanza of Eliot's. Another notes the presence of "Irony" fifty times outside the paragraphs of A Modest Proposal.

BILLY COLLINS December 10, 2001 Elizabeth Farnsworth talks to the new poet laureate, Billy Collins. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The new poet laureate is Billy Collins, and he gave his inaugural reading at the Library of Congress last week. He is the author of six collections of verse, the most recent, Sailing Alone Around the Room , was published in September and it's been a best seller in San Francisco, Boston, and other cities. The book is in its fifth printing, which is unusual for poetry. Collins is Professor of English at Lehman College, City university of New York, where he has taught for 30 years. Thanks for being with us, Mr. Collins, and congratulations on being Poet Laureate. BILLY COLLINS, Poet Laureate: Thank you very much. It's good to be here. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: I want to talk about this issue of accessibility. I notice that the word "accessible" is used a lot in reviews and discussions of your poetry meaning, I guess, easy to understand. It is a word you like? Do you try to be accessible? BILLY COLLINS: Well, I've gotten tired of it actually. It's a little overused, not just in application to my work, but a lot of other poets I think. I think accessible just means that the reader can walk into the poem without difficulty. The poem is not, as someone put it, deflective of entry. But the real question is what happens to the reader once he or she gets inside the poem? That's the real question for me, is getting the reader into the poem and then taking the reader somewhere because I think of poetry as a kind of form of travel writing.
