Part I done. I get why people who don't like poetry like Billy Collins. His poems are little vignettes into his mind, small diary entries that explore his love for everything and everyone. He's very much a man who appreciates the small things and he never takes anything for granted. His writing is calming and it's very easy to fall into the world he's living in. It's cozy.

I might be getting tired of his writing. It’s the same thing over and over again and I’m getting bored. His writing is nice but it’s not impactful (he acknowledges this but goddamn there’s nothing really substantial so far). There’s no “whoaaa” moment. Small snapshots are nice but I wish there was more experimentation here. This feels like a one trick pony…

a part from Night Letter to the Reader:
"and there was something else I wanted to tell you,
something about the warm orange light
in the windows of the house,
but now I am wondering if you are even listening
and why I bother to tell you these things
that will never make a difference,
flecks of ash, tiny chips of ice.
But this is all I want to do—
tell you that up in the woods
a few night birds are calling..."
