'In "Litany" he plays with diction. How does his reading and performance of this language impact you?
I appreciate Billy Collins's use of diction. He pokes fun at the traditional techniques of flattery. His reading and performance embody a sense of sarcasm, versus seriousness. I feel if I simply read this, without seeing the performance, I would not feel the dry sarcasm that the reader, Billy Collins, portrays.
