I think I want to check this out just to see what's happening with the man, if nothing else. I've always liked Billy Collins, but I agree that his poking fun of himself and the world has been both his greatest tool and his deepest danger. Divorce, good poem. Truly, and maybe that's the way he's headed in his poetry. Interesting to see a poet in transition. I hope we're not seeing, as you implied, his back as he walks away. Thanks for the review!
