“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] 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
“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
“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 among them.” –William Doreski, Harvard Review
