Sailing Alone Around the Room

Billy Collins

A sort of 'greatest hits' collection of poetry by Billy Collins, this volume contains some of his best poems (arguably, though I'm not sure that that's true) from his previous poetry collections as well as a few new ones. I own several of Collins' poetry books and even though I was familiar with many of the poems featured here, the beauty of poetry is that you find something new in a poem every time you read it.
