An Collins
An Collins (fl. 1653) is the otherwise unknown poet credited with the authorship of ''Divine Songs and Meditacions'', a collection of poems and prose meditations published in London in 1653. Background and controversy Nothing is known of An Collins apart from what can be gleaned from ''Divine Songs and Meditacions'', a collection of poems and meditations published in London by R.
