More From Paul Muldoon
- "That’s one of the great things about poetry; one realises that one does one’s little turn – that you’re just part of the great crop, as it were."
- "The other side of it is that, despite all that, people reach out to poetry at the key moments in their lives."
- "For whatever reason, people, including very well-educated people or people otherwise interested in reading, do not read poetry."
More In Poetry

- "Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."― T. S. Eliot
- "That sense of a life in natural objects, which in most poetry is but a rhetorical artifice, was, then, in Wordsworth the assertion of what was for him almost literal fact."― Walter Pater
