Chekhov's Mistress

Longenbach on Muldoon

by Bud Parr

James Longenbach writing about Paul Muldoon in Slate, concludes: “Muldoon is not unaware of the paradoxical power of dropping the mantle of authority; he knows what he’s doing. Over the last 15 years, each of his books has been both more wildly giddy and more heartbreakingly lyrical than the one before it, and Horse Latitudes is his most maddening but also his most completely satisfying volume so far: a book that truly mourns.”

I just read Horse Latitudes, now I want to read it again.
