An Evening with Paul Muldoon

‘one of the era’s true originals’

Seamus Heaney HomePlace is delighted to open our weekend of commemorative events with a reading by Paul Muldoon. Paul last visited HomePlace in 2018 and took part in our online season of events ‘Keeping Going’ in 2020.

Paul Muldoon’s first pamphlet, published in 1971, was entitled Knowing My Place. Over 50 years on, his place has long been assured at the top table of contemporary literature.

Through collections like Moy Sand and Gravel (which won the Pulitzer Prize), Horse Latitudes and Quoof, Muldoon has emerged as one of the greatest living poets in English, celebrated for his playful wit, his technical brilliance and the freewheeling juxtaposition of image and ideas.
