One Thousand Things Worth Knowing Av Paul Muldoon

Paul Muldoon''s new book, his twelfth collection of poems, is wide-ranging in its subject matter yet is everywhere concerned with watchfulness. Heedful, hard won, head-turning, heartfelt, these poems attempt to bring scrutiny to bear on everything, including scrutiny itself. <i>One Thousand Things Worth Knowing</i> confirms Nick Laird''s assessment, in the New York Review of Books, that Paul Muldoon is ''the most formally ambitious and technically innovative of modern poets, [who] writes poems like no one else.''
