Billy Collin’s on Forgetfulness

July 20, 2008 by Anne Basting

I love Billy Collin’s poetry, and particularly his readings of his poetry. And even more, animations of his poetry with him reading them. Take a look at this animated version of Forgetfulness on YouTube. It’s by Julian Gray of Headgear animation in Toronto.
