Aimless Love is Billy Collins' first compilation of poems in twelve
years, and a wonderful successor to his first, the bestselling
Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes. Aimless Love presents more
than fifty new poems together with generous selections from his
four previous books. No poet writing today communicates so directly
and effectively, and no living poet has managed to both enrich the
tapestry of contemporary poetry and expand it so dramatically: his
poems appeal to readers and live audiences across the globe, and
have been translated into more than a dozen languages. By turns
playful, ironic and serious, Collins's poetry unearths the wonder
in the everyday: in his own words, his poems 'begin in Kansas and
end in Oz'. Weaving the themes of love, loss, joy and poetry
itself, these poems showcase the best work of this 'poet of
plenitude, irony, and Augustan grace'.
