I'm not a poet, but am a new fan of Billy Collins. I missed the
interview on NPR and also would like to know the answer to the
question about his latest book title, "Picnic, Lightning".

Cynthia Magriel Wetzler wrote up a pretty extensive interview with
Collins in the NY Times, Nov. 30, 1997 and brought to attention the
Collins web site www.bigsnap.com. It includes several poems in entirety.
Billy Collins information is offered at eantonow@aol.com. Possibly one
could find out there. I'll try.
