Of Birds and Potatoes
from The American Story
If you need a little poetry in your life—and who doesn't?—Billy Collins can be a good place to start. Collins writes unblushingly to attract new readers to poetry and to encourage those who have given up to come back. And he is famously funny. So much so that, because he reads his poems so amusingly and his readings have been so successful and well-attended, he has been called—not always as a compliment—a "stand-up poet."
