Billy Collins interview on Littoral



Check out this interesting interview of poet Billy Collins on the literary journal 'Littoral' of the website Key West Literary Seminar.

My favorite quote from this interview is "I read others not to steal but to find gates of departure for my own flights".

What a relief to arty souls who like to borrow! Looking at the art of others, reading their poems is a way of finding that starting point for your own art. If it is good enough for Collins, it is good enough for me!
