I enjoy Muldoon's playful thinking of all the ways "end" can be interpreted and applied to poetry.

Summer Reading assignment. It was the first full book of poetry I ever read but it was fantastic.
This is the first book by Muldoon that I've read. I love his bawdy Irishness and his utterly inventive poetry. He's all about milk tongue, maybe some goat foot too. The poems are concerned with the rhythm of the lines, the pleasure in invented words and how the sounds play off one another. I definitely recommend this to all my poetry friends.
this guy came to st. lawrence when i was a junior and spoke in one of my classes. the church bells were ringing at 5pm, and i said "that sounds like the flinstones theme." and paul muldoon, an irishman nonetheless, turns to me and says "did you say 'the thong song'"
