a fancy muldoon.

that is a don paterson quote. d.paterson is also very astute in highlighting muldoon's ability to embed rhymes across 10, 100 lines, individual poems and even across books. I have also noticed, and this is possibly a little joke d.paterson plays just to satisfy himself, because he is both a wiley and tricksy stylist at times, he has started separating muldoon's rhymes out for himself, across his own poems, subtle little bookends like his beloved, almost-imperceptible etymological puns.

I have muldoon's "new selected 1968-94".

... and I really like "the more a man has the more a man wants" and I really like muldoon.

I like him, except for his pop music poems.

This Father’s Day, Bono made an appearance at Dublin's @dalkeybookfest in conversation with Paul Muldoon, with an exclusive first reading from his forthcoming #SurrenderMemoir, about his relationship with his own father.
