Poetry of Paul Muldoon

About the author

Dr Jefferson Holdridge is Associate Professor of English at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, and Director of the Wake Forest University Press.

Summary

Introduces the general reader to some of the main critical discussions surrounding Muldoon's work. This book shows how, for this author, a Pulitzer Prize winner, art should not merely repeat the devastation of the world - although he is afraid that it does, and engages in bitter moral despair that makes his poems among the very best.
