› Find signed collectible books: 'The End of the Poem: Oxford Lectures'Book summary:In The End of the Poem, Paul Muldoon, "the most significant English-language poet born since the Second World War" (The Times Literary Supplement), presents engaging, rigorous, and insightful explorations of a diverse group of poems, from Yeats's "All Souls' Night" to Stevie Smith's "I Remember" to Fernando Pessoa's "Autopsychography." Here Muldoon reminds us that the word "poem" comes, via French, from the Latin and Greek: "a thing made or created." He asks: Can a poem ever be a freestanding, discrete structure, or must it always interface with the whole of its author's bibliography--and biography? Muldoon explores the boundlessness, the illimitability, created by influence, what Robert Frost meant when he insisted that "the way to read a poem in prose or verse is in the light of all the other poems ever written." And he writes of the boundaries or borders between writer and reader and the extent to which one determines the role of the other.[via]
At the end, Muldoon returns to the most fruitful, and fraught, aspect of the phrase "the end of the poem": the interpretation that centers on the "aim" or "function" of a poem, and the question of whether or not the end of the poem is the beginning of criticism. Irreverent, deeply learned, often funny, and always stimulating, The End of the Poem is a vigorous and accessible approach to looking at poetry anew.More editions of The End of the Poem: Oxford Lectures:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Horse Latitudes: Poems'Book summary:The title of Horse Latitudes, Paul Muldoon's tenth collection of poetry, refers to those areas thirty degrees north and south of the equator where sailing ships tend to be becalmed, where stasis (if not stagnation) is the order of the day. From Bosworth Field to Beijing, the Boyne to Bull Run, from a series of text messages to the nineteenth-century Irish poet Tom Moore to an elegy for Warren Zevon, and from post-Agreement Ireland to George W. Bush's America, this book presents us with fields of battle and fields of debate, in which we often seem to have come to a standstill, but in which language that has been debased may yet be restruck and made current to our predicament. Horse Latitudes is a triumphant new collection by one of the most esteemed poets of our time.[via]-

› Find signed collectible books: 'Madoc'Book summary:Subtitled A Mystery, this is a poem about the utopian "Pantisocratic" plan, a scheme once devised and abandoned by eighteenth-century poet-philosophers Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. What if they had indeed set up this ideal community on the banks of the Susquehanna? This is the crux of the poem's theme offering a version of events drawn from the mind's eye of one of Southey's reputed descendants. [via]

Moy Sand and Gravelby Paul MuldoonISBN 0374528845 (0-374-52884-5)
Softcover, Farrar Straus & Giroux
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Moy Sand and Gravel'Book summary:Paul Muldoon's ninth collection of poems, his first since Hay (1998), finds him working a rich vein that extends from the rivery, apple-heavy County Armagh of the 1950s, in which he was brought up, to suburban New Jersey, on the banks of a canal dug by Irish navvies, where he now lives. Grounded, glistening, as gritty as they are graceful, these poems seem capable of taking in almost anything, and anybody, be it a Tuareg glimpsed on the Irish border, Bessie Smith, Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth I, a hunted hare, William Tell, William Butler Yeats, Sitting Bull, Ted Hughes, an otter, a fox, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Joscelyne, un unearthed pit pony, a loaf of bread, an outhouse, a killdeer, Oscar Wilde, or a flock of redknots. At the heart of the book is an elegy for a miscarried child, and that elegiac tone predominates, particularly in the elegant remaking of Yeats's "A Prayer for My Daughter" with which the book concludes, where a welter of traffic signs and slogans, along with the spirits of admen, hardware storekeepers, flimflammers, fixers, and other forebears, are borne along by a hurricane-swollen canal, and private grief coincides with some of the gravest matter of our age.[via]Moy Sand and Gravel is the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. -

› Find signed collectible books: 'To Ireland, I'Book summary:Paul Muldoon, one of the most important poets of his generation, has produced a firework display of scholarship, wit, and intrigue in this idiosyncratic wander through the alphabet of Irish literature. From Beckett and Bowen, through Joyce, MacNeice, Swift, and Yeats, To Ireland, I is a provocative re-reading of the major Irish authors, with a particular emphasis on the continuity of the tradition.
