DJB reads Sweet Talk, and Billy Collins Reads at the White House

Posted by David J. Bauman on

I highlighted my William Stafford playlist the other day, and today I’d like to feature another playlist of mine, a group of poems by one of my favorite living American poets, Billy Collins. Click here for the playlist. There are some great readings of his poems online, including some fun animations, one of which I will embed below in this post, but first a reading of mine, and then one of my favorite videos ever, Mr. Collins reading at the White House! Enjoy.
