Poetry Passages 158: Billy Collins - Interview & Reading (Part II)

[@joekennedy4662]

Ah, there it is! Now l can stop holding my breath. Thanks again for this, Cliff. I appreciate whatever work you do to do these interviews. It must've been hard to let the man go, eh?

Thank you, Joe. Yes, I desperately wanted to keep him on, but I could see he was getting tired. He gave so much, and every sentence he spoke is a keeper. I’m so grateful for every second he gave us. Hopefully he’ll come back on again someday! 😊

@@PoetryPassages l understand that, Cliff. Time is so much more precious to me than money these days. As Billy told you, you're doing a good work. Thank you for your time.

He forgot to plug his upcoming dog book when you prompted him with the 3 choices. I guess he already chose ;) Great interview! CPNP-approved ✅ 🤗

Thank you, Mihaela! I thought he would plug the dog book too. But I guess it’s because he’s promoting Musical Tables now, a book with Random House. I believe the dog book will be a very limited printing with another publisher. Such a gift he gave us with this interview. I’m just so grateful to Billy-and to the CPNP! Onward to World Poetry Domination! Hehe 😉
