Billy Collins. The RAIN IN PORTUGAL. Random, 2017.
A request find from the Bookman, only two years later. Must have ordered anything by him when I was taking his Masterclass. Read it for pure pleasure, aloud. There are several poems I will remember. "Speed-Walking on August 31, 2013" which commemorates Seamus Heaney's death. I too remember where I was and what I was doing the moment I heard that news. "Basho in Ireland" and "Poem to the First Generation of People to Exist After the Death of the English Language" & of course, the title poem.
