Currently reading update #1: Billy Collins

Billy Collins.
Poet Laureate.
Of what years?
I don't know.
All i do know is that his poetry is observant, wryly funny, and sweetly simple. Really. This guy's in a category of his own. I've read two of his poetry books. Well, actually one. The other i'm currently savoring. Whenever reading a poetry book, you don't want to gulp everything up at once.
Take it slowly.
No rush, no need to expedite.
Billy Collins poetry is so tasteful, you just have to read it three times in a row, each poem that is. The first time, you think to yourself: this is clever. The second time, you find yourself liking it more, find the poem itself a bit more pleasurable. The third time, you feel envious. As if, i wish i had written this.
That's the charm of Collins.
The one i'm reading right now is 'Nine Horses' and it's a gem.
Any of his work is worth checking out.
