Reviews / Votes
'Paul Muldoon, who has done so much to reimagine the poet's task, has surpassed himself with his latest collection, Plan B, an exquisitely produced collaboration with Norman McBeath, the Scottish photographer. "I sat one evening with the photographs and copies of the poems and, like the kind of party host we've all been encouraged to believe ourselves to be, allowed them to get into conversation with each other," writes Muldoon of his collection, which, he says, was "curated by the poems and photographs themselves." Typically, he's given this new genre a distinctive new name: photoetry.' Robert McCrum, The GuardianMore details
