Before his reading,
Billy Collins explains the
mechanics
of butterfly wings
to fellow poets
David Kirby, Angela Ball,
and David Lehman.
Stacey Harwood talk
about Girls, the show, the pros,
the cons. And how miniature,
chocolate-covered cake is so
self-contained and
perfectly balanced.
Every head-shadow,
and accompanying body,
was enthralled when feature-
poet Billy Collins took the
stage and read from
Aimless Love.
I haven't read any poetry for a while until very recently - I think I have a reluctance from school days when we were forced to enjoy poetry, well clearly you cannot be forced into enjoying anything and I would think that is not what any poet would want.
However teachers are long gone and I now find I do like it. School creates such bad habits sometimes! Quite frustrating really.
