About Paul Muldoon: A Profile:

I confess I never heard of this guy. I'm impressed that Seamus Heaney recommends him, because Heaney is a real poet. But poets tend to recommend poets, regardless, and I can't say that I think much of the two samples included in this profile.

To: Cicero
I've read glowing reviews of his translation of Beowulf, though I've never read that interpretation, myself.

Judging by the rest of his oeuvre-and admittedly, I've only read snippets from most of his poetry-it seems like it would be a well-crafted work, if nothing else.
