4thace reviewed Taking off Emily Dickinson's clothes by Billy Collins
Review of "Taking off Emily Dickinson's clothes" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The clarity of his poems is not geometric - they are full of bits that stick out, strands that just peter out at the end, fits and starts and sudden distractions. It is a good simulation of what a thoughtful life really is like. And if he is jokier than most poets of this generation, that just makes him a more welcome guest among one's shelves, at least when one is in a humane sort of mood.
