QUESTIONS ABOUT ANGELS

Billy Collins. QUESTIONS ABOUT ANGELS. William Morrow, 1991, U Pittsburgh, 1999.

On the day a friend was moved into Palliative Care, I received word that the request I submitted for any books by Billy Collins some years ago has resulted in this arrival. Lovely putti on cover, medieval brown. Recognize two favourites: "Questions About Angels" and ."Forgetfulness"-- "No wonder the moon in the window seems to have drifted / out of a love poem that you used to know by heart."
