    Paul Muldoon is round of cheek and belly, bespectacled, with a Harpo-esque mop of graying hair over a pointy emoticon nose. He stands at the bottom of the amphitheater in black shirt and trousers, tan jacket, a tie the same orange as the cover of Moy Sand and Gravel. He speaks and reads softly, in spite of the lapel mic (that is sometimes irritated by the crossing and uncrossing of his arms), in staccato phrasings, a hint of Irish lilt. My poems sometimes just end, he says. Had I finished that last poem? I think I had. Whos to know?

What I'm Doing...

  • In the dark of the moon, a deep black sky, the dipper tips a libation over our roofbeam. 15 hrs ago
  • The eastern horizon glows like the embers of a sacred fire. Chattering songbirds call for day. To the south, a dove mourns. 1 day ago
  • Drizzle is a miserable word. The heavens lower, my mood is dour. A little spring and I would sing. The sun would turn me carefree as a bird. 3 days ago
  • I open the back door and the wren flies at shin level. Is she nesting on the porch? Our cats are old but not that old. 5 days ago
