In 'Water, Water,' Collins takes inspiration from Coleridge, using familiar themes to create surprising perspectives on life, reflecting the complexities of aging and self-identity.
The poem, 'When a Man Loves Something,' showcases Collins' autobiographical style, as he navigates memories of music and connects them to his present life experiences.
