Former Poet Laureate (2001-2003) Billy Collins has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Bruce Weber of The New York Times has called Collins “the most popular poet in America.” While he was Poet Laureate, Collins created the popular Poetry 180 website (loc.gov/poetry/180/) for the Library of Congress, which offers a poem a day throughout the school year. Collins’ new collection of poems is “Aimless Love” (Random House), which he will discuss in the Poetry & Prose pavilion. In the Children’s pavilion, Collins will read his poem “Voyage” (Bunker Hill Publishing).
Karen Romagna:
Karen Romagna loves the ocean so much that as a little girl she decided she would be a mermaid. That didn't work out. Instead she followed her other love, art. Mainly a self-taught artist, Karen lives and paints in historic Clinton, N.J. with her family. They vacation every year at the Jersey Shore, where Karen spends most days on the beach painting, hoping to one day at least see a mermaid! “Voyage” (Bunker Hill Press) is Romagna’s debut as a picture book illustrator. She will appear with former Poet Laureate Billy Collins in the Children’s pavilion.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
