Analysis Of A Poem By Billy Collins

This is the introduction of Collins poem where he begins the recollection of the names that he remembered that had lost their lives in the attacks.

For a reader that has no knowledge of the background of this poem it could be easy to believe that Collins is hallucinating but he is actually symbolizing that the people who had fallen.
Collins ends the poem with the line “ So many names, there is barely room on the walls of the heart.” (54) to symbolize that there are so many names of the people that had lost their lives that is sometimes hard to remember that

In this poem that I have composed the inspiration that I have taken from Billy Collins is the personal experience and relation of the event that is taken place in the piece of poetry.
