\n NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 From former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins comes a twelfth collection of poetry offering over fifty new poems that showcase the generosity, wit, and imaginative play that prompted The Wall Street Journal to call him \u201cAmerica\u2019s favorite poet.\u201d
\u00a0
The Rain in Portugal\u2014a title that admits he\u2019s not much of a rhymer\u2014sheds Collins\u2019s ironic light on such subjects as travel and art, cats and dogs, loneliness and love, beauty and death. His tones range from the whimsical\u2014\u201cthe dogs of Minneapolis . . . \/ have no idea they\u2019re in Minneapolis\u201d\u2014to the elegiac in a reaction to the death of Seamus Heaney. A student of the everyday, Collins here contemplates a weather vane, a still life painting, the calendar, and a child lost at a beach. His imaginative fabrications have Shakespeare flying comfortably in first class and Keith Richards supporting the globe on his head. By turns entertaining, engaging, and enlightening, The Rain in Portugal amounts to another chorus of poems from one of the most respected and familiar voices in the world of American poetry.
