An Evening With Billy Collins

Thursday, January 30 at 7:30 pm

Headlining the Friends of the Music and the Arts season will be an appearance by Billy Collins, past Poet Laureate of the United States and recipient of numerous awards and honors. Called the “most popular poet in America” by the New York Times, his numerous collections of poetry have become bestsellers. Mr. Collins — who has never appeared in Knoxville before — will read from his work, including from a collection to be published in November entitled Water, Water (which will be available that evening for purchase). As Mr. Collins is truly a national treasure, you will not want to tarry in procuring a ticket to hear him.
