The Think Forum series will continue with a lecture by acclaimed poet Billy Collins Tuesday, Dec. 3, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Maltz Performing Arts Center.
Collins is an American phenomenon. No poet since Robert Frost has combined high critical acclaim with such broad popular appeal. Collins’ work has appeared in a variety of periodicals, including The New Yorker, The Paris Review and The American Scholar. Collins has published 12 collections of poetry that has led to numerous awards, including the Mark Twain Award for Humor in Poetry. Collins was named New York State Poet Laureate from 2004 to 2006 after serving as the Poet Laureate of the United States from 2001 to 2003. Collins’ newest book, Water, Water: Poems, was released earlier this month.
