In his eleventh collection, Muldoon reimagines the poet's task with wit, eroticism and a thrilling exploration of "sex and the dead."
Pulitzer prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon reminds us that he is a traditional poet who is steadfastly at odds with tradition in Maggot. Taking as a starting point W. B. Yeats's remark that the only fit topics for a serious mood are "sex and the dead," Muldoon finds unexpected ways of thinking and feeling about coming to terms with the early twenty-first century.
The centerpiece of Maggot is an outlandish meditation on a failed poem that draws on the vocabulary of entomological forensics. The last series of linked lyrics takes as its subject the urge to memorialize the scenes of fatal automobile accidents. This extravagant linkage of rot and the erotic is at the heart of not only the title sequence but also many of the round songs that characterize this collection.
Angela Leighton, writing in The Times Literary Supplement, sees these captivating new poems as giving readers "a thrilling, wild, fairground ride, with few let-ups for the squeamish." Robert McCrum of the Observer praises Muldoon for having "surpassed himself" in reimagining the poet's task with Maggot.
