Questions for Billy Collins

1. Why do you believe the original poems failed?

2. Do you enjoy stealing/revising others' poems more then writing your own and why?

3. The beginning of the poem sounds religious with "the bread and the wine", was the original poem meant to be religious?

4. Do any of the comparisons you make have any relation to each other?

5. Does the end of the poem and the beginning, with relation to the goblet of wine and bread, have any relation to each other?

6. When comparing yourself to objects instead of the beloved, is it done for humor or are you making a statement about romance or relationships in general?
