Over the past decade, Billy Collins has emerged as the most beloved
American poet since Robert Frost, garnering critical acclaim and
broad popular appeal. Gerald Stern describes his poetry as
"heartbreakingly beautiful." John Updike proclaims his poems
"consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe
all the worlds that are and were and some others besides."This
special, limited edition celebrates Billy Collins's years as U.S.
Poet Laureate. The Art of Drowning—one of the books that helped
establish and secure his reputation and popularity during the
1990s—is distinctive in its variety of interests and the generous
hospitality of its voice. Ranging from an analysis of Keats's
handwriting to the art form of the calendar pinup, the subjects of
his poems inspire imaginative play. Whether reading him for the
first time or the fiftieth, this collector's edition is a must-have
for anyone interested in the poet the New York Times calls simply
"the real thing."
