	The Poetry Center: Billy Collins & Ira Glass Conversation
		Ira: you have a poem called Death of Allegory, where you talk about the big ideas leaving the stage of poetry, of truth, and reason, and justice, and have you thought about why they've left the stage, why as readers we don't want that, why that feels wrong, and grand, and wrong to us.
		Ira: Huh, (pause, laugh) It seems like such a beautiful thing that as a country we decided "god, we're going through a tough time, you know what we need, we need a poet!" We don't have a songwriter, we don't have a novelist, we have a poet.
		Ira: I remember when I was in school, I remember the age that I was at, and I was in college already and I had the experience.
