Billy Collins, October 17th

Attention Chicago folks! I’m sure I’ve already emailed many of you, but this is to let you know that Billy Collins will be giving a reading at the Art Museum on Monday, October 17th.

I am a HUGE fan of the man and his work. If you’re not into poetry, I’m telling you… THIS is your poetry reading. I find Collins to be incredibly accessible, and absolutely delightful to listen to. In fact, I’d argue that you’ll likely be laughing a good part of the time, as he’s also an incredibly funny reader to boot.

I cannot recommend him enough.
