It is the perfect length for what Dante Gabriel Rossetti described as 'a moment's monument' or William Wordsworth as a 'scanty plot of ground' offering 'brief solace' for those who 'have felt the weight of too much liberty'. Among the poets included in this centuries-spanning edition are Elizabeth Bishop, Wanda Coleman, John Donne, Terrance Hayes, John Keats, Claude McKay, Edna St Vincent Millay, Christina Rossetti, William Shakespeare, Patricia Smith and W.

There are also translations by Muldoon of sonnets by Charles Baudelaire, Rainer Maria Rilke and César Vallejo, as well as the duo of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud.","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288751816940,"sku":"9780571373444","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1b3d5d5547c59cb5939d8523e65604b2.jpg?v=1770604824"},{"product_id":"talking-heads-by-paul-muldoon-9781068502316","title":"Talking Heads","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA volume collecting Paul Muldoon's three Ireland Professor of Poetry lectures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough the three lectures given by Paul Muldoon as Ireland Professor of Poetry focus on three former holders of the chair—John Montague, Michael Longley, and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill—they also touch on a dizzying range of topics including David Byrne, Claddagh Records, decapitation, \u003cem\u003eThe Destruction of Da Derga's Hostel\u003c\/em\u003e, factory farming, Pierce Ferriter, incest among royals, Ivar the Boneless, James Joyce's \u003cem\u003eThe Dead\u003c\/em\u003e, Carl Jung, long addition, the Royston crow, Section 21 of the Broadcasting Act of Ireland, \u003cem\u003eThe Story of Mac Da Thó's Pig\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Voyage of Muldoon\u003c\/em\u003e, war crimes by major poets, and the overly excitable Warren Zevon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ireland Chair of Poetry was established in 1998 following the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature to Seamus Heaney and is supported by Queen's University Belfast, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, and the Arts Council Án Chomhairle Ealaion.
