Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You features poems written throughout the past 20 years.
Writing poetry, to be exact.
For decades now, the actor has turned to poetry to process things going on in his life.

“For a while I was just writing it for myself,” Collins tells EW.
It was amazing!"
Amazing as it was, it led to years of writer’s block.
“I was like, ‘What if this gets published someday?’
I became neurotic about it,” Collins says.
So he forgot about publishing and returned to writing for himself.
Until one day he realized just how many poems he’d written.
“Again, kind of weirdly just for me.”
Now Collins is sharing his poetry in a way he never anticipated.
“It is nuanced enough that it is not obvious,” he says.)
He’s taking this one step at a time.
“It’s been a bit of a passion project,” Collins says of the show.
In the series, Collins travels to different cities in America and gets to know people via food.
(Anthony Bourdain would be proud.)
It’s been quite fascinating."
Needless to say, this former angel is keeping busy.
