Billy Collins & Mary Oliver

Luminaries Billy Collins and Mary Oliver will share personal favorites and iconic writings from their notebooks. Dubbed “the most popular poet in America” by Bruce Weber in The New York Times, former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins is famous for conversational, humorous and witty poetry. Pulitzer Prize winner Mary Oliver will share excerpts from her latest project, A Thousand Mornings, being released shortly after her Strathmore appearance. At this reading, audience members can purchase A Thousand Mornings before its public release. “The gift of [Pulitzer Prize winner] Mary Oliver’s poetry is that she communicates the beauty she finds in the world and makes it unforgettable” (The Boston Globe).
