Billy Collins is funny,witty,makes fun of himself,intelligent,sweet and sensitive and doesn't act like or behave like a poet.Meaning he is down to earth,not pretentious and doesn't treat his poems as oh-so-precious works of art that will cause him to kill himself if they are not appreciated.
All this from someone who really is not a lover of poetry but if you like Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson and don't like Ezra Pound or the "confessional poets",then Dr.Collins is your man.Plus hearing him read his own work in a wonderful voice is even better.
