"Noted for their intelligent humor, accessibility and observations on daily life, Collins' popular poems come alive further in a series of animated poems produced by JWT-NY."
The Best Cigarette
(This one's the pick of the bunch, IMO. Watch this even if you don't have time for the others.)
The Dead
Walking Across the Atlantic
Some Days
Now and Then
Hunger
Budapest
Forgetfulness
Three more, by ComedyFilm, who, unfortunately, does not allow embedding. These aren't animations. Just slide shows and some background sounds.
A History of Weather
Shoveling Snow with the Buddha
Saturday Morning
Two more from Acumensch, who, unfortunately, et cetera.
Man in Space
Sweet Talk
And Collins introduces the Best American Poetry event at the New School 9/21/06 and mentions the controversy surrounding the publication. (Very fuzzy video shot by someone in the audience who wasn't in a good seat. But the audio's clear.)
And since we're ODing on Collins, here are some more links from emails that, erm, may have, um, been sent to you, in a manner of speaking, by me.

I don't know what you found on those links but most of the links say 'not found'. i suppose you might call that sheer poetry.
