'Inventive' poet Muldoon reads at the King's Manor

Posted on 16 May 2001

Paul Muldoon, Oxford Professor of Poetry, will give a poetry reading at the King's Manor, University of York on 17 May at 8 pm.

Described as "probably the most inventive poet writing in English" by Hugh Haughton of York's English Department, Paul Muldoon's Collected Poems is published this month by Faber and Faber.

He is originally from the North of Ireland and is Professor of Creative Writing at Princeton University and Oxford Professor of Poetry.

He is also the author of a number of children's books, two opera libretti, and an "extraordinarily mischievous and erudite book of literary criticism", To Ireland, I.

The poetry reading is free of charge and all are welcome. It will take place in the Huntingdon Room, King's Manor, Exhibition Square in the centre of York at 8 pm.
