Mini Review: Ballistics by Billy Collins





Another wonderful collection by Billy Collins. I read this right after Horoscopes for the Dead, and at first I felt there were fewer poems I connected with in this book, but after section one, I liked a lot more. Collins has a way of making quiet, ordinary moments and scenes seem significant. I would be nervous to spend time with him, because he seems to have such a keen eye and intuition that he notices everything;-)


My favorites were:

No Things

Greek and Roman Statuary

The Future (probably my favorite in the whole collection)

Carpe Diem

New Year's Day

Details

Adage

Baby Listenings

What Love Does
