"Billy Collins, Action Poet" is a series of short animated films JWT created for The Sundance Channel. Billy Collins, former poet laureate for the United States, provided the poetry and the voice-over for these award-winning films. Visit JWT.com Email JWT Hear Billy read this on NPR a while back and thought the video was very suiting. I liked it a lot. -Donna Loved the Billy Collins, Jet Blue, King Kong and Levis. Really inventive and impressive. Scruffs was a real throw-back/nothing new in that one AT ALL. -J. Dancoff Profound, beautifully written, and scary for those who recognize their own (or their parents') "senior moments" in this poem. -postmodern Powerful!!!! Seeing first hand what age and disease can take away from someone makes this piece scary and lonely, yet so poetic and peaceful. -Marcia Beautiful and poignant piece. -passepartout Best piece, is poetic, yes insightful and touching. Extremely powerful, and beautifully illustrated. whiteslippers Change of pace from the rest. Good for the Sundance audience, but it will never make it on Monday Night Football (as if that matters).

Loose Leaf Notes "Things I would not tell anyone, I tell the public." ~ Michel de Montaigne Main Billy Collins Said This When Asked HERE : What are some of the difficulties of having a seemingly accessible and clear style? Is that something you have to work on—revising the poem to its most lucid state? Billy Collins : Well, I think it’s more difficult to be clear than to be obscure. If you write with a certain, respectful level of clarity (I mean in sentences!), the reader sees what’s going on and can buy in or check out. If you write incomprehensibly, no one knows what’s going on and why should anyone care? Being difficult can be high fun as with Ashbery , but there is only one Ashbery. The rest of them (he said broadly) use language as camouflage. I’m not saying my ten-year-old daughter could write like a “language poet,” but that’s only because I don’t have a ten-year-old daughter. Post note: Do you understand most poetry?

Introduction to poetry I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want then to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with a rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. Billy Collins atwood hicok merwin poetry ... haj

Our Films Billy Collins: On the Road with the Poet Laureate Billy Collins is perhaps the first American poet since Robert Frost to enjoy both critical and popular acclaim. This 59-minute documentary captures the qualities that make Collins such a refreshing literary figure. With a film crew trailing him to poetry readings, to college classrooms, to his office and his home, and even into his car, he manages to remain amazingly witty, gracious, and open in discussing his life, his work, and the nature of poetry itself. Interviews with distinguished poets and critics Edward Hirsch and Richard Howard, with Librarian of Congress Dr. James Billington, and with Random House editor Daniel Menaker lend new perspectives on Collins's achievement. This is also the first documentary to explore the cultural role of the U.S. Poet Laureate, a position that Collins held between 2001-03. He is joined by former poets laureate Robert Hass, Rita Dove, and Robert Pinsky at the 2002 Dodge Poetry Festival for an amusing series of reflections on the history of this unique position, which is both a literary honor and a quasi-government position, as persuasive or as irrelevant as the writer chooses to make it. A writer of warmth and surreal humor whose voice is nonetheless inflected with the dark tones of what Frost called "moral panic," Collins can be seen and heard here reading some of his most famous poems, including "Introduction to Poetry," "Forgetfulness," "Lanyard," and "Nightclub." Students of poetry, and Collins's many fans, will find much here that entertains and illuminates.

skip to main skip to sidebar PAUL VERMEERSCH Poetry and such. Saturday, August 4, 2007 Elitism, Accessability, and Billy Collins Collins takes some lumps from a lot of his peers for being a writer of "accessible" poetry. San Fransisco Chronicle columnist John Carroll, who admits that he is not a big reader of poetry himself, takes the time to ponder the question of accessibility, elitism, and place of Billy Collins in contemporary poetry. For the record, Collins doesn't much care for the word "accessible" either, because it suggests "ramps for poetically handicapped people." He likes the word "hospitable." But he concedes that "accessible" has won the day, and he's happy with the side he finds himself on. "Some poems talk to us; others want us to witness an act of literary experimentation." Read the whole column here. Posted by Paul Vermeersch at 10:13 AM 2 comments: Robert Earl Stewart said... I have a Collins CD I listen to in the car. He is indeed "hospitable" and I would add the word "comforting". Be forewarned, thoughone day, my children may wax whistful about "Dad's dogeared copy of Collins". August 5, 2007 11:15:00 PM EST

I had never seen anyone use a lanyard but that did not keep me from crossing strand over strand again and again until I had made a boxy red and white lanyard for my mother. She gave me life and milk from her breasts, and I gave her a lanyard. She nursed me in many a sick room, lifted spoons of medicine to my lips, laid cold face-cloths on my forehead, and then led me out into the airy light and taught me to walk and swim
