Narration Supposing Books Moy Sand and Gravel

Paul Muldoon's ninth collection of poems, his first since Hay (1998), finds him working a rich vein that extends from the rivery, apple-heavy County Armagh of the 1950s, in which he was brought up, to suburban New Jersey, on the banks of a canal dug by Irish navvies, where he now lives. Grounded, glistening, as gritty as they are graceful, these poems seem capable of taking in almost anything, and anybody, be it a Tuareg glimpsed on the Irish border, Bessie Smith, Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth I, a hunted hare, William Tell, William Butler Yeats, Sitting Bull, Ted Hughes, an otter, a fox, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Joscelyne, un unearthed pit pony, a loaf of bread, an outhouse, a killdeer, Oscar Wilde, or a flock of redknots. At the heart of the book is an elegy for a miscarried child, and that elegiac tone predominates, particularly in the elegant remaking of Yeats's "A Prayer for My Daughter" with which the book concludes, where a welter of traffic signs and slogans, along with the spirits of admen, hardware storekeepers, flimflammers, fixers, and other forebears, are borne along by a hurricane-swollen canal, and private grief coincides with some of the gravest matter of our age.

Moy Sand and Gravel is the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

Evaluate Epithetical Books Moy Sand and Gravel

Who cares if I don't get all his references to Ireland or the US? It is the road that Muldoon is interested in, and the journey he brings the reader on is shot through with surprise and delight. His words make music like crystals make music. His rocks vibrate at witchy intervals. With a shoulder to the wheel, his engine drives me to look for roots, for the texture of Moy sand and gravel.

Based on how positive the reviews are, I feel like I'm missing something from these poems. There were a few I really liked, but for the most part the poems in this collection didn't connect with me. I didn't hate the poems but I didn't really like them either. Paul Muldoon is great with poetry formatting and creative rhyme schemes; I'll give him that. Even when I wasn't enjoying the poems, I could appreciate how they were constructed. These poems definitely weren't for me but they weren't

I don't always understand everything Muldoon is doing but I'm charmed by the way he does it.

I did not really get this book, what Mr. Muldoon was trying to do; the poems were an odd mix of retrograde and experimental.

It is like verbal mosaic. The more I read Muldoon, the more I'm sold. He's an engineer of poems. "At the Sign of the Dark Horse" is a genuine palimpsest...and I will be trying to figure out "Affairs of State" like it's a Rubik's Cube for years to come.

Beautiful imagery and coupled with a lucid liquidity in the language that he uses makes these poems a true masterpiece. Not entirely accessible to the mass poetry audience, a good example of 'high-brow' poetry which could be seen to exclude many readers.

The Undertones and Siouxsie Sioux?You know you're gonna break on through.
