Dog Show by Billy Collins
Poet Billy Collins (born March 22, 1941) once said, “While the novelist is banging on his typewriter, the poet is watching a fly in the window pane.” Collins grew up in Queens. His mother was a nurse who could recite verse on numerous subjects, and his father was an electrician who used to bring home copies of Poetry Magazine. Young Billy was a voracious reader, tackling Compton’s Encyclopedia at the age of four before moving on to books like Black Beauty, The Yearling, and the Lassie series. His mother read to him often, and, Collins says, “I have a secret theory that people who are addicted to reading are almost trying to re-create the joy, the comfortable joy of being read to as a child by a parent or a friendly uncle or an older sibling. Being read to as a child is one of the great experiences in life.”
Collins is widely considered the most popular poet in America. He never attended a writing program or took writing workshops, though he did meet poet Robert Frost when Frost visited his class at Holy Cross College. The students were shy, though, so Frost spent most of the evening talking to the Jesuits. Collins remembers mostly staring into his soup.
He published his first poems in the back of Rolling Stone magazine. They paid $35.00 a poem. He didn’t publish his first book until he was 40 years old. He said, “I thought I would be completely content if I was recognized at some later point in my life as a third-rate Wallace Stevens.”
Billy Collins uses a Uni-Ball Onyx Micropoint pen in 9 x 7 notebooks to draft his poems before typing them out. When he thinks he might have enough for a book, he puts all the pages on the floor and walks on top of them in his stocking feet, trying to figure out the order. He revises his work carefully, he says, because “Revision can grind a good impulse to dust.”
His newest.collection 'Dog Show' features 25 poems about everyone's favorite four legged friend. He answered a few quick questions about the book for us.

A Dog, on his Master by Billy Collins
As young as I look,
I am growing older faster than he,
seven to one
is the ratio they tend to say.
Whatever the number,
I will pass him one day
and take the lead
the way I do on our walks in the woods.
And if this ever manages
to cross his mind,
it would be the sweetest
shadow I have ever cast on snow or grass.

A little over a year ago, I met this amazing guy, and we instantly clicked. He was kind, funny, and everything I’d ever wanted in a partner. But he had herpes (HSV-2).
At first, I didn’t know much about herpes, but I could see how much it affected him. The outbreaks were painful and embarrassing for him, and he’d tried everything—antiviral medications, creams, you name it—but nothing seemed to work long-term. Every time he thought it was under control, the symptoms would come back, and it was taking a toll on his confidence and our relationship.
I loved him, and I wanted to help him find a solution. I started researching like crazy, looking for anything that could help. I read forums, watched videos, and even joined support groups online. But nothing seemed promising—until one day, everything changed.
I was driving to work one morning, listening to the radio, when I heard a segment about natural remedies for chronic illnesses. The hosts were talking about Dr. Zulu Evans, an herbal doctor who had helped countless people overcome diseases like herpes, diabetes, and even cancer. They shared stories from people who had used his herbal treatments and were now living symptom-free. I was intrigued, but what really caught my attention was when they mentioned that Dr. Zulu’s herbal remedies had no side effects and were made from 100% natural herbs. Everything looked right and convincing. I said to myself, Ok we should try this.
I immediately called the radio station to get Dr. Zulu’s contact information. They gave me his number [ +2347067468416 ], and I reached out to him that same day. Dr. Zulu responded within minutes, and he was so kind and professional. I explained my boyfriend’s situation, and he asked detailed questions about his symptoms and medical history. He assured me that his herbal treatment could help, and I felt a glimmer of hope for the first time in months.
We decided to give it a try. Dr. Zulu prepared a herbal medicine for my boyfriend, which included a mix of herbs to drink and a cream to apply to the sores. He sent everything to us with clear instructions on how to use it. My boyfriend was a little skeptical at first—he’d been let down so many times before—but he agreed to give it a shot.
For the next 60 days, my boyfriend followed Dr. Zulu’s regimen religiously. I watched as the outbreaks became less frequent, the sores healed faster, and eventually, they stopped coming back altogether. It was like a miracle unfolding right before my eyes. After completing the treatment, my boyfriend went for a checkup, and the results were incredible—his test came back NEGATIVE for HSV-2!
We were both in shock. To be sure, we waited a few months, but it’s been over a year now, and he’s still completely herpes-free. It’s been such a relief for both of us, and I’m so grateful we found Dr. Zulu. Not only did he help my boyfriend overcome herpes, but he also gave us our lives back.
What’s amazing is that Dr. Zulu doesn’t just treat herpes—he has herbal cures for so many other conditions like:
• HERPES (HSV 1-2) CURE
• DIABETES CURE
• HEPATITIS A,B,C CURE
• GONORRHEA CURE
• CANCER CURE
• HIV/AIDS CURE
• AUTISM CURE
• ALZHEIMER CURE
• STAPHYLOCOCCUS CURE
• FIBROIDS CURE
• ADHD – CURE
• INFERTILITY CURE
• CHRONIC PAINS
• OVERWEIGHT (OBESITY)
• INSOMNIA CURE
• YEAST INFECTION
• PNEUMONIA CURE
• OTHERS
If you or someone you love is struggling with herpes or any other health issue, I can’t recommend Dr. Zulu enough. Don’t let skepticism hold you back like it almost did for us. Herbal medicine might sound unconventional, but it worked wonders for my boyfriend when nothing else did. You can reach out to Dr.Zulu on [ +2347067468416, drzuluevansherbalmedicines@gmail.com ] for more information.
Seriously, don’t give up hope. There’s a solution out there, and Dr. Zulu might just have the cure you’ve been searching for. If our story can help even one person, then sharing it was worth it.
Earlier this year, I had a terrible fight with my husband, and he had no choice but to leave the house. And I assumed he was just angry, which made him leave. After a few days, I was unable to contact him or determine his whereabouts. I waited and waited, but he never returned or called me. I was filled with pain and remorse over what happened. I tried everything I could to get him back, but to no avail, until I contacted Dr. Isa, who came to my rescue. He performed his love spell work perfectly to reunite us, and my husband, who had not wanted to return, called exactly 48 hours later, just as Dr. Isa had promised. We are both now together.
