    Everyone is invited to join the Social Wave Book Club as we embark on a new adventure this session with a discussion of poetry!  We'll be reading Horoscopes for the Dead by Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the U.S.   

     

    In Horoscopes for the Dead, the verbal gifts that earned Billy Collins the title "America's most popular poet" are on full display.  With simple diction and effortless turns of phrase, Collins is at once ironic and elegiac.  Smart, lyrical, and not afraid to be funny, these new poems extend Collins's reputation as a poet who occupies a special place in the consciousness of readers of poetry, new and old alike.
