Billy Collins is one of the world’s most popular poets. While his poems often begin in the everyday and domestic, fans know that they might end anywhere – and that they will lift their heads from the book to a world startlingly different from the one they had left moments before. Billy Collins’ previous collection, Taking Off Emily Dickinson’s Clothes, was an extraordinary success, introducing thousands of readers to his exhilarating poetry for the first time. By turns wildly funny and intensely moving, Nine Horses has won Billy Collins even more admirers.

It was a beautiful read. Enthralling and utterly devastating at times. I found some of the cameos a bit overly done, but the depth of character from the new names and faces were absolutely beautiful. My love and respect for Haymitch Abernathy started in the first book, trippled in the subsequent trilogy releases and has more than magnified in this prequel. I also have a new love in Miss Maysilee Donner, who made me smile as much as she made me cry in the end. Spectacular work, Ms Collins.
