Aimless Love: New and Selected Poems by Billy Collins

5.0

I won't pretend that I didn't buy this collection in an attempt to impress a crush. It hovered on my shelf for years, the last few pages unread as the crush faded.

But I picked it off the shelves this morning as it felt like a 'poetry' kind of morning, and I felt comforted by my fleeting taste.

This collection of poems is at times melancholy and hilarious, quite often both. Beautiful and a fittingly quiet ode to a relationship that would never be.
