Sunday Sentence: Sailing Alone Around the Room by Billy Collins


Simply put, the best sentence(s) I’ve read this past week, presented out of context and without commentary.


       In the ashen newsreels,
       the avenues of cities
       are broad rivers flowing with hats.


“The Death of the Hat”
from Sailing Alone Around the Room by Billy Collins

  1. Billy Collins rocks. I like a lot of his poems but my first place award goes to either Litany or Aristotle.

    1. I just read "Aristotle" this morning, and you're right--I was blown away!
