Sailing Alone Around the Room: New and Selected Poems by Billy Collins

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

Collins writes an awful lot for not actually saying anything. I don’t understand the rave reviews for this collection. It consists of pretentious non-observations, presented without rhythm or meaning. It’s the kind of poetry that’s made fun of for taking itself too seriously. I didn’t feel anything.
