Collins was selected as United States Poet Laureate, 2001-2003. His work has appeared in a variety of periodicals including The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and The American Scholar. His poems have been read on National Public Radio and his poetry readings are often standing-room-only events. Billy Collins has published eight collections of poetry, including Questions About Angels, The Art of Drowning, Picnic, Lightning and The Trouble With Poetry and Other Poems.

    Lipscomb University is pleased to host the 29th annual Christian Scholars’ Conference, June 25-27, 2009, under the theme, “The Power of Narrative.” Plenary speakers Billy Collins (US Poet Laureate, 2001-2003), Marilynne Robinson (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2005), Hubert G. Locke, and Barbara Brown Taylor will stimulate dialogue on the intersection of faith, academics and narrative's captivating quality.
