Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes

Angbeen Abbas

billy collins was probably one of my first introductions to poetry and how wonderful and rich the day to day experience of being alive can be. that said, this collection isn't as exciting as it might have been a few years ago. there's some pretty good pieces in here: winter syntax, morning, man in space, to name a few. but by and large, the subject matter kinda remains the same and so does the style. overall a pretty good experience but not exactly a life-changing read.
