Description
“While the novelist is banging on his typewriter, the poet is watching a fly in the window pane.” – poet Billy Collins, born on this day in 1941.

The Collins quote seems like something that would have been written in 1941, the year he was born. Banging on a typewriter? Who bangs on a typwriter any more. Shame on Billy (whose poetry I love) for a poor attempt at wry. And for Keillor for quoting it. Both men could and have, done better.
