Picnic, Lightning(1st Edition)
(Pitt Poetry Series)
by Billy Collins
Paperback, 104 Pages, Published 1998 by University Of Pittsburgh Press
Unabridged
ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-5670-9, ISBN: 0-8229-5670-5

"In these playful, conversational poems, Billy Collins immerses us in the minutiae of a life--cow viewing, parsley chopping, "buzzing around on espresso"--and restores a sense of wonder. In a voice half confessional, half avuncular, he takes us by the hand and shares his deepest secrets. Whether shoveling snow with the Buddha, releasing Emily Dickinson from her corsets, spoofing Auden and Wordsworth, or putting words in the mouths ..."

Unabridged
ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-5698-3, ISBN: 0-8229-5698-5

"Billy Collins has a knack for making the familiar exotic and the arcane instantly accessible. His 1991 collection, Questions About Angels, is a loving and often amused search for "the infinite / permutations of the alphabet's small and capital letters." This phrase comes from an ode to his first literary experience--and needless to say, Collins is more honest than most of us might be. Though he would later discover "frightening Heathcl ..."
