Description
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon has been called “the most significant English-language poet born since the Second World War,” but Muldoon also has a passion for rock. He collaborated with legendary songwriter Warren Zevon and is a founding member of his own Princeton-based band, Wayside Shrines. In his new collection, The Word on the Street: Rock Lyrics, Muldoon offers little distinction between poetry and rock music, finding common ground between W.B. Yeats’ ballad-singing porter drinkers, T.S. Eliot, Buddy Holly and Bruce Springsteen. Greil Marcus, America’s foremost rock critic, joins him for this special conversation."The most sophisticated and original poet of his generation."
