Poet's Corner: Massage by Billy Collins

This is also from Whale Day and Other Poems by Billy Collins. I have at several points considered massage therapy as a possible career, and I am struck by the similarity between this and the massage poem by Margaret Atwood.

Poet's Corner: And It's Raining Outside, Which Always Adds by Billy Collins

This is only to remind me that the title of a poem need not be an afterthought. It can be integral, novel, and even the best part of a poem. This is "And It's Raining Outside, Which Always Adds" by Billy Collins from Whale Day and Other Poems [2020].

Poet's Corner: Evening Wind by Billy Collins

I do so like poems that reference other art works, and I do like the work of Edward Hopper. About six months ago, while cleaning, I found a book of Edward Hopper art postcards that I bought at some point. Really lovely. But it did not include this one, Evening Wind, which is NSFW and therefore under the cut.
