Moy Sand and Gravel

"Muldoon takes some honest-to-God reading. He's a riddler, enigmatic, distrusting of appearances, generous in allusion, doubtless a dab hand at crossword puzzles. All good poets deserve attentive readers, but Muldoon needs you to be skeptical, needs you to forget what you know...and remember what he wants you to. He operates in complex and challenging rhyme schemes but informal metrics, speaks in plain talk peppered with trickery, plunges into thickets of literary-historical knowledge, paddles through torrents of Irish place names."Muldoon, Paul is the author of 'Moy Sand and Gravel', published 2004 under ISBN 9780374528843 and ISBN 0374528845.
