  • billy collins says poetry is optional

    I loved this! Yes, poetry is optional. Art is optional. Participation is optional. What a freeing thought. And pleasure. Your audience is looking for pleasure, and they don't care about your thoughts and feelings. How true. Caring is optional. Having enjoyed video of Collins reading, and animated shorts set to his poems, I've received a lot of pleasure from this poetry.
