David Gullette

Poetry Reviews: Paul Muldoon and Others

Paul Muldoon is anxious to file dispatches from the front lines of Our Lives Now. That is one of the characteristics that separates him from most other poets writing today.

Poetry Review: “I Aint Yo Earthmama” — Poets Susan Barba and Wanda Coleman

The two books reviewed here represent the launch of the reborn Black Sparrow Press under the auspices of David R. Godine, Publisher. Very exciting. Let’s give them a big warm Boston welcome!

Poetry Review: Paul Muldoon’s “Frolic and Detour” — Making the Intricate and Difficult Seem Easy

Frolic and Detour contains a few poems that I judge to be instant classics of English-language poetry.

Everything in this production been given a Scandinavian flavor – special kudos to prosciutto for playing its role as boar’s meat quite well.
