Horse Latitudes: Poems

"Paul Muldoon is a shape-shifting Proteus to readers who try to pin him down . . . Those who interrogate Muldoon's poems find themselves changing shapes each time he does. . .authentically touched or delighted." -Richard Eder, "The New York Times Book Review""" "Without question one of the most inventive poets writing in English today." -Andrew Frisardi, "The ""Boston"" Sunday Globe" Praise for "Moy Sand and Gravel," winner of the Pulitzer Prize: ""Moy Sand and Gravel," Muldoon's ninth book of poems in twenty years, shimmers with play, the play of mind, the play of recondite information over ordinary experiences, the play of observation and sensuous detail, of motion upon custom, of Irish and English languages and landscapes, of meter and rhyme." -Peter Davison, "The New York Times Book Review""""" "["Moy Sand and Gravel"] demonstrate[s] why [Muldoon] is regarded by many as the most sophisticated and original poet of his generation . . . dazzling." -Mark Ford, "The ""New York"" Review of Books" "Certainly one of the most beguiling and delightful of writers." -"The Economist" "A glittering vindication of complexity." -Brian Dillon, "Time Out""" "Fanciful, brief, strong and sprung by twinkle-eyed winks at the readers' intelligence, these poems will certainly stand the test of time, and of many readings." -John Freeman, "The ""Seattle"" Times" "Paul Muldoon is the most original Irish poet of his generation . . . Muldoon's voice, with its taste for meaty unpronounceables and querulous urgencies, it like no other in contemporary poetry. While it distinguishes him from his acknowledged mentor Seamus Heaney and other brilliant Irish rhetoricians, it also establishes an honored place amongthem." -William Doreski, "Harvard Review" http://www.dropshippers.co.za/
