Billy Collins' "Litany"




Questions For The Author

Q1: What possessed you to take the original poem and change it in this manner?

Q2: Did you purposely choose to make some of your metaphors ridiculous?

Q3: Why put personal metaphors in as well?

Q4: Was there intended hidden meaning behind any metaphors, or was it their pure ridiculousness”

Q5: Why end with the same metaphor that you started with?

Q6: Were any other ideas or metaphors taken from the original poem?

And although this assignment only called for 6 questions I have a seventh.

Q7: If she isn’t the pine-scented air, can I call dibs on that?
