"I've grown old- now my own name rings a bell." In each of the short poems in Billy Collins's Musical Tables, the former United States Poet Laureate tempers his characteristically jocular voice with what he calls the "thrill of mortality" - flashes of profundity amongst the mundane, startling reminders of the wonder of being alive.

'America's favourite poet' - Wall Street Journal
