Billy Collins attended Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains and received a B.A. in English from the College of the Holy Cross in 1963; he received his M.A. and Ph.D in Romantic Poetry from the University of California, Riverside. His professors at Riverside included Victorian scholar and poet Robert Peters.〔(Interview with Billy Collins by Renee H Shea – College Board Teaching Series ) accessed March 18, 2010〕〔(''The Coachella Review'', Interview with Collins by Robert Potts ) accessed March 18, 2010〕 In 1975 Collins founded ''The Mid-Atlantic Review'' with his friend Walter Blanco and Steve Bailey.〔(The Bowery and ''The Mid-Atlantic Review'' – archive material ) accessed March 18, 2010〕
