Paul Muldoon and the language of poetry / by Ruben Moi.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Paul Muldoon and the Language of Poetry is the first book in years that attends to the entire oeuvre of the Irish-American poet, critic, lyricist, dramatist and Princeton professor from his debut with New Weather in 1973 up to his very recent publications. Ruben Moi's book explores, in correspondence with language philosophy and critical debate, how Muldoon's ingenious language and inventive form give shape and significance to his poetry, and how his linguistic panache and technical verve keep language forever surprising, new and alive"-- Provided by publisher.
