He's a joy! <br /><br />What I like even more than reading him is listening to him read. He can be seen on Youtube, but my favorite is a CD my husband gave me last year (or the year before?): <em>Billy Collins Live: A Performance at the Peter Norton Symphony Space</em>. The introduction is by Bill Murray, and the whole CD is fabulous and hysterical. <br /><br />Are there really only five days of April left? Ah! Mother heads north tomorrow to open our place in Stetson. :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.com
