Winner of the 1999 Paterson Poetry Prize

Over the past decade, Billy Collins has emerged as the most beloved American poet since Robert Frost, garnering critical acclaim and broad popular appeal. Annie Proulx admits, I have never before felt possessive about a poet, but I am fiercely glad that Billy Collins is ours. John Updike proclaims his poems consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides.

This special, limited edition celebrates Billy Collins's years as U.S. Poet Laureate. Picnic, Lightning--one of the books that helped establish and secure his reputation and popularity during the 1990s--combines humor and seriousness, wit and sublimity. His poems touch on a wide range of subjects, from jazz to death, from weather to sex, but share common ground where the mind and heart can meet. Whether reading him for the first time or the fiftieth, this collector's edition is a must-have for anyone interested in the poet the New York Times calls simply the real thing.

Could do in a pinch, 'meh' quality
Size: Small, Color: Set-un8
Eh, I guess these are fine for the price. They're not super high quality, and the fit is kind of weird in my opinion. I have doubts that they would last a lot of repeat washings, especially the waistband. I returned them.

Love These
Size: Medium, Color: Off White/Rose Wood/Black
I am very sensitive to any kind of chemicals so I have to buy organic cotton fabrics. I have to wash anything I buy at least 5-10 times so I won't have a reaction. I only had to wash these about 5 times and had no reaction. I have a little muffin top, so I like the high waist. They fit really well, true to size. They are thin but well made. I will most likely buy again. I am 130lbs and 5'8"
