These poems show Collins at his best, performing the kinds of distinctive poetic maneuvers that have delighted and fascinated so many readers. They may begin in curiosity and end in grief; they may start with irony and end with lyric transformation; they may, and often do, begin with the everyday and end in the infinite. Possessed of a unique voice that is at once plain and melodic, Billy Collins has managed to enrich American poetry while greatly widening the circle of its audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Trade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375755194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.30w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/04\/2002 pg. 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2002 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2003 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Billy Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636704112796,"sku":"9780375755194","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c244706a-68fe-4953-a300-b564d1eee62b.jpg?v=1603842703","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sailing-alone-around-the-room-new-and-selected-poems-9780375755194","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
