Join celebrated poet Billy Collins in Conversation

Dubbed the 'Most Popular Poet In America' by the New York Times, world renowned wordsmith Billy Collins has helped shape the face of modern poetry with his well crafted witticisms and often tender observations of the human condition. His conversational tone has often been described as warm and accessible, yet he pairs hilarity with depth to great effect.

Writing originally played second fiddle to Collin's career in academia. He still maintains his intellectual endeavours as a Distinguished Professor at Lehman College of the City University of New York, yet his poetry and writing is celebrated outside of the classroom. From regular features in Rolling Stone Magazine in the 70s to a myriad prestigious awards and honours, Collins is an indelible part of the American literary landscape.
