Nine Horses

I'm not a particular fan of poetry, but Billy Collins' work will have to be an exception. He manages to take subjects from the mundane trivialities of day-to-day life to the philosophical and deep realities of existence and mortality and somehow make them work together with equal ease. His thoughtful observations and insights on life and death give the reader a side-door into topics that in a factual discussion might otherwise make them uncomfortable. He manages a wonderful mix of sobriety and humor. (Let's just say I'll never see a mouse and matches the same way again). This book is a quick read and well worth your time.

★★★★
