{"product_id":"howdie-skelp","title":"Paul Muldoon: Howdie-Skelp [2021] hardback","description":"The hard-hitting new poetry collection from 'Ireland's most ingenious poet' (Telegraph).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Very few poets, living or otherwise, can combine high-speed wit, tongue-twisting alliteration and dizzying rhyme with the kind of insight that makes us pause, laugh, remember; feel envious, out of breath, punch-drunk.' Kit Fan, Guardian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 'howdie-skelp' is the slap in the face a midwife gives a newborn. It's a wake-up call. A call to action. The poems in Paul Muldoon's striking new collection include a nightmarish remake of The Waste Land, an elegy for his fellow Northern Irish poet Ciaran Carson, a crown of sonnets that responds to the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, a translation from the ninth-century Irish, and a Yeatsian sequence of ekphrastic poems that call into question the very idea of an 'affront' to good taste. Paul Muldoon is a poet who continues not only to capture, but to hold our attention.","brand":"Muldoon, Paul","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":52864730497363,"sku":"XE80571365746","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":42052300472505,"sku":"9780571365746","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47237996347731,"sku":"XV80571365746","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/muldoon-paul-paul-muldoon-howdie-skelp-2021-hardback-58239839502675.jpg?v=1769184930","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/howdie-skelp","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
