The beat poet

Paul Muldoon is Professor of Poetry at Oxford University. He also lectures at Princeton University. He won the T. S. Eliot Prize for poetry in 1994. He bought Alanis Morissette's latest album, Under Rug Swept, just the other week.

The line between one van cleef and arpels 10 motif necklace fake of the world's acclaimed poets and a young, pop music performer who has sold enough CDs to reach the moon is not as tenuous as at first glance. For Muldoon Oxford professor, Princeton lecturer is a fan of popular music. In his collection Hay the musicality of his muse meets the music he admires in a series of poems based on a sort of personal Top 20 albums.

He writes of Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced?), Cream (Disraeli Gears), The Beatles (The Beatles), The Rolling Stones (Beggar's Banquet), Van Morrison (Astral Weeks), Eric Clapton (i>461 Ocean

Boulevard), Elvis Costello and the Attractions (My Aim is True), Warren Zevon (Excitable Boy), Dire Straits (Dire Straits), Blondie (Parallel Lines), Bruce Springsteen (The River), Lloyd Cole and the Commotions (Easy Pieces), Talking Heads (True Stories), U2 (The Joshua Tree), Pink Floyd (A Momentary Lapse of Reason), Paul Simon (Negotiations and Love Songs), Leonard Cohen (I'm Your Man), Nirvana (Bleach), Bob Dylan (Oh Mercy) and REM (Automatic for the People).

Muldoon's poetry has provoked divided opinion from "a kind of acrobat, piling up strange rhymes, references and conceits" (Adam Kirsh, The New Republic) or a poet who was "an unholy amalgam of Ezra Pound and Dr Seuss" (Ben Downing, The Wall Street Journal).

What is not in dispute is his voice, his great gift, the

glissade over the surface of the English language that creates markings both

strange and yet van cleef onyx necklace replica strangely familiar. Muldoon and his wordplay are often spoken of

in the same breath as James Joyce, the ultimate fantastic confabulator. But in

matters musical, the closest Joyce came to harmony and melody was his collection

Chamber Music ("Who may this singer be whose song about my heart is

falling?"). Muldoon lives far closer to the clef and chine of its body and soul.

The cadences quaver and quake, slide and stop start. He is not afraid to mingle

the two worlds of music and literature together, nor their inhabitants. knock off van cleef red clover necklace His

poetry uses musicians and their works, such as from Quoof :

But in recent months Muldoon has come even closer to the real thing. So close, in fact, that he can now claim co songwriting credit among his achievements. The American initiated the endeavour after receiving a fan letter from a most unlikely source.

huge fan. I've been following his career since Excitable Boy (1978). About 18 months ago I wrote a fan letter. I heard nothing for close to a year then I had a phone call from him one day. We got together and he asked me if I would consider writing something for him, which, of course, was a great thrill for me, as it would be for interested in popular songwriting.
