Birthday Tribute for Billy Collins, an International Treasure

Billy turns 80 on March 22. If you would like to make a video to be included in this video montage Tribute that he will view on his birthday after The Poetry Broadcast, please record a short video on your smartphone and submit it. It will only take you a few minutes, but the videos will be limited to 60 seconds. So as with a poem, every word counts. You may answer either or both questions, or you may look into the camera and speak directly to Billy, as he speaks directly to the reader in his poems. NOTE: Tribute only accepts videos, but there is a way for you to contribute if you don't want to appear on camera, which is true for so many people. Point the lens at a tree or an animal or an interesting something around you or the sky-- and say what you want to say.
