Paul Muldoon: Bric-a-Brac of a Life

The Irish Post once said that measuring Paul Muldoon’s impact on modern poetry was like ‘trying to assess the influence of The Beatles on post-war music’. We’re delighted to welcome the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet to the Festival. In conversation with Peggy Hughes, Muldoon will discuss his fifteenth poetry collection Joy in Service on Rue Tagore, which explores ancient empires, modern disasters, and the last wolf in Ulster.
