[Poetry] Collins, Billy.

The Trouble with Poetry and Other Poems.

New York: Random House, 2005. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine price-clipped dust jacket. Playfulness, spare elegance, and wit epitomize the poetry of Billy Collins.With his distinct voice and accessible language, America’s two-term Poet Laureate has opened the door to poetry for countless people for whom it might otherwise remain closed. Through simple language, Collins shows that good poetry doesn’t have to be obscure or incomprehensible, qualities that are perhaps the real trouble with most “serious” poetry. Item #29217
