by Paul Muldoon
Review:
Another Irish poet, but this one is not so typical. I do prefer his classic style to his modern, although he marries the two beautifully. In his 11th collection, the Pulitzer Prize–winner and former professor of poetry at Oxford has not skipped a beat. This is a extraordinary collection of diverse genres of poetry and themes. He tackles the death of his sister and rocker Warren Zevon all in one sitting. He treats us to post-9/11 America, aging, fatherhood and mortality, the notion of "the old country" in a handful of sonnets. For lovers of Seamus Heaney and T. S. Eliot look no further.poet site: Official Paul Muldoon Home Page
