Billy Collins SAILING ALONE AROUND the ROOM-a VERY GOOD pre-owned Trade PBK, '02

Description: Billy Collins, SAILING ALONE AROUND the ROOM, a VERY GOOD pre-owned Random House Trade Paperback, 2002, a "New York Times Notable Book." From The New Yorker: "'What Collins does best is turn an apparently simple phrase into a numinous moment.'" From the Boston Globe: "'Collins uses ordinary words. . .and his sentences have the cadences of speech. They usually start with plain statements. . .then something strange happens. A rocket goes off, images burst out like fireworks, and life's backyard becomes a magic kingdom. . ,Collins is often very funny--but more startling than the wit is the way his mind makes unexpected leaps and splices.'" From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "'To begin with, Collins is absolutely charming. He deserves every rose he's flung these days. . . ,His poems are irresistible. Deceptively simple and gentle, they wrap their friendly arms around you, tell you a joke, pour you a drink and then usher you into a banquet of images and ideas.'" From the New York Review of Books: "'It is difficult not to be charmed by Collins, and that, in itself, is a remarkable literary accomplishment.'" From The Washington Post: "'[Collins] takes the mundane thing and shows you its mystery. Ad he takes the mysterious and strips it naked."'
