Musical Tables by Billy Collins<br><b>POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATION WINTER 2023</b> Jonathan Davidson himself politically conflicted"I've grown old now my own namerings a bell." In each of the short poems in Billy Collins's Musical Tables, the former United States Poet Laureate tempers his characteristically jocular voice with what he calls the "thrill of mortality" flashes of profundity amongst the mundane, startling reminders of the wonder of being alive. Through the brevity of these poems, Collins' knack for coaxing the poetry out of the everyday becomes ever more refined.
