From grief's soft echoes, to the atheist equally afraid of heaven and hell, Collins remains as keenly vigilant of the light as he does the shadows which dance at its edges.'A poet of plenitude, irony, and Augustan grace' - The New Yorker'Among the best poems that Collins has ever written' - NPR'Witty, wry and tender when it hurts, Water, Water is a pleasure to read and easy to give' - The Washington Post.
