The 2024-25 Think Forum series will welcome former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Collins’ work has appeared in a variety of periodicals including The New Yorker, The Paris Review and The American Scholar. He has published twelve collections of poetry that have led to numerous awards, including the Mark Twain Award for Humor in Poetry. Collins was named New York State Poet Laureate from 2004–2006 after serving as the Poet Laureate of the United States from 2001–2003. Collins’ newest book, Water, Water: Poems, will be released later this month.
