Aimless Love: New and Selected Poems by Billy Collins

4.0

Billy Collins' poetry is witty and wise, smart in rhythm and diction. I enjoyed this book as one would a room full of paintings at an art museum. Sometimes, Collins riffs on a turn or phrase or a quotation pulled from who-knows-where, other times a scene, a memory, or a feeling. Sometimes I laughed out loud, sometimes I stared a while at the page to absorb the feeling. Some of these I even shared. I feel better for having spent the time listening.
