In honor of National Poetry Month, O, Miami presents the two most popular poets in America: Billy Collins and Mary Oliver.

Billy Collins has published eight collections of poetry and was the United States Poet Laureate from 2001 to 2003 and the New York State Poet Laureate from 2004 to 2006. He was named a "Literary Lion" by the New York Public Library and has been awarded fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Guggenheim Foundation. In October 2004, Collins was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Poetry Foundation’s Mark Twain Prize for Humor in Poetry.

Mary Oliver has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award for Poetry, the Lannan Foundation Literary Award, the New England Booksellers Association Award for Literary Excellence, and the Poetry Society of America’s Shelley Memorial Award, among others. She has also received a Guggenheim Fellowship. The New York Times described her as "far and away, this country's [America's] best-selling poet." She lives in Provincetown, Massachusetts and Hobe Sound, Florida.
