Analysis of Billy Collins is far up front.
I present this link. Enjoy.
He has this eyes sideways
Knack for irony, beauty in
Ordinary things.
Tone of voice never giving away
A surprise.
Only offering half mad
Half genius.
Til the words manifest
With inference
The much deeper agenda.
Affecting all of us who feel.
All of us who want to.
