'Billy Collins is one of my favourite poets in the world' - Carol Ann Duffy

Billy Collins is one of the world's most popular poets. A Collins poem often begins in everyday and domestic life, but Collins's fans know it might transport them anywhere in space and time — and leave them looking at a world startlingly different from the one they had left moments before.

Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes won a Wide new readership for Collins's humane, wise and often exhilarating verse; Nine Horses is as full of mind-blowing tales as its predecessor, but also strikes a more elegiac note. if anything, though, his wit has sharpened on this sometimes darker material — and Nine Horses finds him on as wildly funny form as ever.

'Delightfully direct, he won't lose you in his lyricism but will transport you to a better place' - The Times

'Great verse, moving, intelligent and darkly funny' - Observer

'Billy Collins' medium is a rare amalgam of accessibility and intelligence. I'd follow this man's mind anywhere' Michael Donaghy 'Rueful and funny; crisp and lyrical; wry and meditative, modest yet subversive ... A great discovery' - Irish Times

'Billy Collins writes lovely poems ... consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides' - John Updike
