The End of the Poem by Paul Muldoon

The End of the Poem by Paul Muldoon

Contains the fifteen lectures delivered by Paul Muldoon during his tenure as Oxford Professor of Poetry, from 1999 to 2004. These lectures form a set of variations around the theme of 'the end of the poem'. Each lecture explores a different sense of an ending, and focuses upon an individual poem, with examples drawn from twentieth century poets.

"'A major poet, Muldoon continues to outshine his contemporaries' Stephen Knight, Independent on Sunday 'The meaning and the impact of the poems unfurl and resound slowly but surely, poignantly and eloquently'. William Boyd, Guardian"
