But Muldoon, more than most, is an artist in high flight from self-repetition and the deadening business of living up to created expectations.\" The body of work in Poems 1968-1998--a comprehensive gathering of Paul Muldoon's eight volumes---finds a great poet reinventing himself and recreating the business of poetry. The thirty-year effort of Muldoon's career thus far, is altogether like a fascinatingly mutable climate in which each freshening period brings---as his first collection was predictively titled---new weather.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374125430\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0374125430.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Muldoon, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
