Poems 1968-1998

Author	Paul Muldoon
ISBN	0374528446

"Ireland"
The Volkswagen parked in the gap,
But gently ticking over.
You wonder if it's lovers
And not men hurrying back
Across two fields and a river.

Sven Birkerts has said, "It is not usual for a poet of Muldoon's years to have . . . an oeuvre disclosing significant shifts...

Selected Poems and Three Plays

Author	W.B. Yeats

My favorite poems are as follows:

The Lake of Innisfree
When you are Old
The Second Coming
On Woman
The People

When they told me that I could have my own way I wrote certain guiding principles...and...

Collected Poems of Louis MacNeice

Author	Louis MacNeice
ISBN	0571113532

Dipped in and out of this book for many a month and came away very impressed with MacNeice as a poet -- it's a shame he seems to have been overshadowed by Auden (who I guess he resembles but has a less arch quality to him, in my opinion.) I also think he gets a bum rap for being remembered primarily for his poem...

Outside History: Selected Poems, 1980-1990

Author	Eavan Boland
ISBN	0393308227

I think I'm going to set Boland aside and read something else for a while. While I thought her poem "The Journey" (not included in this collection) might qualify as an immortal masterwork, I generally prefer the compression and tightly-wound intensity of other feminist poets such as Plath.

Time travels are possible if they happen inside one’s mind. And Shamrock Tea is an artistic diary describing such journeys through the past.
