Join Professor Paul Muldoon for a reading from his new collection, 'One Thousand Things Worth Knowing' - another wild, expansive collection of poems from the eternally surprising winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, T.S. Elliot Prize winner, and poetry editor at the New Yorker.
The Pulitzer Prize winning Irish poet reads his poem.
Paul Muldoon: So, this is a poem called The Loaf. It's set somewhat in the house that I live in in New Jersey, a house built in 1750 or thereabouts in that era.
When they were building a house, they incorporated huge amounts of horse hair into the wall to bind the plaster, so that's a feature of this poem which is really, which is essentially about a hole in a wall and a range of sensations through it. Appearing in it are some of the Irish navigational canal workers who built the Delaware and Raritan canal. That's about it. There is a little nonsense and a little nonsense refrain, or something close to it.
The Loaf
When I put my finger to the hole they've cut for a dimmer switch
in a wall of plaster stiffened with horsehair
it seems I've scratched a two-hundred-year-old itch
with a pink and a pink and a pinkie-pick.
When I put my ear to the hole I'm suddenly aware
of spades and shovels turning up the gain
all the way from Raritan to the Delaware
with a clink and a clink and a clinkie-click.
When I put my nose to the hole I smell the floodplain
of the canal after a hurricane
and the spots of green grass where thousands of Irish have lain
with a stink and a stink and a stinkie-stick.
When I put my eye to the hole I see one holding horse dung to the rain
in the hope, indeed, indeed,
of washing out a few whole ears of grain
with a wink and a wink and a winkie-wick.
And when I do at last succeed
in putting my mouth to the horsehair-fringed niche
I can taste the small loaf of bread he baked from that whole seed
with a link and a link and a linkie-lick.

When the master was calling the roll
At the primary school in Collegelands,
You were meant to call back Anseo
And raise your hand
As your name occurred..
Paul Muldoon: So, this is a poem called Anseo. Anseo was the first word of Irish I learned. It means "here." It was a word that we learned at primary school as the role was being called. Here. Anseo, Anseo.
Anseo
When the master was calling the roll
At the primary school in Collegelands,
You were meant to call back Anseo
And raise your hand
As your name occurred.
Anseo, meaning here, here and now,
All present and correct,
Was the first word of Irish I spoke.
The last name on the ledger
Belonged to Joseph Mary Plunkett Ward
And was followed, as often as not,
By silence, knowing looks,
A nod and a wink, the master's droll
'And where's our little Ward-of-court?'
I remember the first time he came back
The master had sent him out
Along the hedges
To weigh up for himself and cut
A stick with which he would be beaten.
After a while, nothing was spoken;
He would arrive as a matter of course
With an ash-plant, a salley-rod.
Or, finally, the hazel-wand
He had whittled down to a whip-lash,
Its twist of red and yellow lacquers
Sanded and polished,
And altogether so delicately wrought
That he had engraved his initials on it.
I last met Joseph Mary Plunkett Ward
In a pub just over the Irish border.
He was living in the open,
in a secret camp
On the other side of the mountain.
He was fighting for Ireland,
Making things happen.
And he told me, Joe Ward,
Of how he had risen through the ranks
To Quartermaster, Commandant:
How every morning at parade
His volunteers would call back Anseo
And raise their hands
As their names occurred.

Paul Muldoon (born 20 June 1951 near Portadown, Northern Ireland) is an Irish poet. He has published over thirty collections and won a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the T. S. Eliot Prize. He held the post of Oxford Professor of Poetry from 1999 - 2004. At Princeton University he is both the Howard G. B. Clark ’21 Professor in the Humanities and chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts. He is also the president of the Poetry Society (U.K.)and Poetry Editor at The New Yorker.
Muldoon was born, the eldest of three children, on a farm outside The Moy, on the boundary between County Armaghand County Tyrone, near Portadown.The family was Catholic in a largely Protestant area of Northern Ireland. His father worked as a farmer (among other jobs) and his mother was a school-mistress. In 2001, Muldoon said of the Moy
It's a beautiful part of the world. It's still the place that's 'burned into the retina', and although I haven't been back there since I left for university 30 years ago, it's the place I consider to be my home. We were a fairly non-political household; my parents were nationalists, of course, but it was not something, as I recall, that was a major area of discussion. But there were patrols; an army presence; movements of troops; a sectarian divide. And that particular area was a nationalist enclave, while next door was the parish where the Orange Order was founded; we'd hear the drums on summer evenings. But I think my mother, in particular, may have tried to shelter us from it all. Besides, we didn't really socialise a great deal. We were 'blow-ins' - arrivistes - new to the area, and didn't have a lot of connections.

Famous quotes by Paul Muldoon:
"The center only exists in a metaphysical sense at the moment. There are no bricks and mortar involved now. And indeed, in a strange way, I'm rather glad that it's not related to a specific building; in some way, I don't think it ever can be. I think there's going to be an expansion and a consolidation so that arts aren't ghettoized in a single building, but can instead interact across the campus."
"It's an opportunity to do something we've never quite managed before: to get our programs going in the same direction, under the same aegis, under one form of leadership. I think, in many ways, that the focus this will give us is going to allow us all to give the students a much better service."
"We have not solved the water-pollution problem."
"Your average pop song or film is a very sophisticated item, with very sophisticated ways of listening and viewing that we have not really consciously developed over the years - because we were having such a good time."
"I live in New Jersey now, which always gets a bad rap here and there, but I must say, I enjoy living here too."
"Of course, you can't legislate for how people are going to read."
"What I try to do is to go into a poem - and one writes them, of course, poem by poem - to go into each poem, first of all without having any sense whatsoever of where it's going to end up."
"The other side of it is that, despite all that, people reach out to poetry at the key moments in their lives."
"Obviously one of the things that poets from Northern Ireland and beyond - had to try to make sense of was what was happening on a day-to-day political level."
"On the other hand, at some level the mass of unresolved issues in Northern Ireland does influence the fact that there are so many good writers in the place."
"I'm sure 50 percent of television ads use rhyme."
"One will never again look at a birch tree, after the Robert Frost poem, in exactly the same way."
"Living at that pitch, on that edge, is something which many poets engage in to some extent."
"I believe that these devices like repetition and rhyme are not artificial, that they're not imposed, somehow, on the language."
"It seems to me the structure of the Quartets is too imposed."
"That's one of the great things about poetry; one realises that one does one's little turn - that you're just part of the great crop, as it were."
"Words want to find chimes with each other, things want to connect."
"Frost isn't exactly despised but not enough people have worked out what a brilliant poet he was."
"For whatever reason, people, including very well-educated people or people otherwise interested in reading, do not read poetry."
"I suppose for whatever reason I actively welcome being put down, something which perhaps goes back to my upbringing - that accusation of not being worthy which could be laid at one's door."

The Pulitzer Prize winning Irish poet reads his poem.
Paul Muldoon: So, this is a poem called The Loaf. It's set somewhat in the house that I live in in New Jersey, a house built in 1750 or thereabouts in that era.
When they were building a house, they incorporated huge amounts of horse hair into the wall to bind the plaster, so that's a feature of this poem which is really, which is essentially about a hole in a wall and a range of sensations through it. Appearing in it are some of the Irish navigational canal workers who built the Delaware and Raritan canal. That's about it. There is a little nonsense and a little nonsense refrain, or something close to it.
The Loaf
When I put my finger to the hole they've cut for a dimmer switch
in a wall of plaster stiffened with horsehair
it seems I've scratched a two-hundred-year-old itch
with a pink and a pink and a pinkie-pick.
When I put my ear to the hole I'm suddenly aware
of spades and shovels turning up the gain
all the way from Raritan to the Delaware
with a clink and a clink and a clinkie-click.
When I put my nose to the hole I smell the floodplain
of the canal after a hurricane
and the spots of green grass where thousands of Irish have lain
with a stink and a stink and a stinkie-stick.
When I put my eye to the hole I see one holding horse dung to the rain
in the hope, indeed, indeed,
of washing out a few whole ears of grain
with a wink and a wink and a winkie-wick.
And when I do at last succeed
in putting my mouth to the horsehair-fringed niche
I can taste the small loaf of bread he baked from that whole seed
with a link and a link and a linkie-lick.

When the master was calling the roll
At the primary school in Collegelands,
You were meant to call back Anseo
And raise your hand
As your name occurred..
Paul Muldoon: So, this is a poem called Anseo. Anseo was the first word of Irish I learned. It means "here." It was a word that we learned at primary school as the role was being called. Here. Anseo, Anseo.
Anseo
When the master was calling the roll
At the primary school in Collegelands,
You were meant to call back Anseo
And raise your hand
As your name occurred.
Anseo, meaning here, here and now,
All present and correct,
Was the first word of Irish I spoke.
The last name on the ledger
Belonged to Joseph Mary Plunkett Ward
And was followed, as often as not,
By silence, knowing looks,
A nod and a wink, the master's droll
'And where's our little Ward-of-court?'
I remember the first time he came back
The master had sent him out
Along the hedges
To weigh up for himself and cut
A stick with which he would be beaten.
After a while, nothing was spoken;
He would arrive as a matter of course
With an ash-plant, a salley-rod.
Or, finally, the hazel-wand
He had whittled down to a whip-lash,
Its twist of red and yellow lacquers
Sanded and polished,
And altogether so delicately wrought
That he had engraved his initials on it.
I last met Joseph Mary Plunkett Ward
In a pub just over the Irish border.
He was living in the open,
in a secret camp
On the other side of the mountain.
He was fighting for Ireland,
Making things happen.
And he told me, Joe Ward,
Of how he had risen through the ranks
To Quartermaster, Commandant:
How every morning at parade
His volunteers would call back Anseo
And raise their hands
As their names occurred.

Billy Collins talks about how he approaches the making of poems, teaching poetry, the early years of his career in which he nearly gave up, and how he came into his poetic “voice.” He explains the years of imitative poetry he wrote that led to his understanding of the potential for humor in poems, and what it was like to compose and read a commissioned poem to Congress in the wake of 9/11.

Billy Collins talks about how he approaches the making of poems, teaching poetry, the early years of his career in which he nearly gave up, and how he came into his poetic “voice.” He explains the years of imitative poetry he wrote that led to his understanding of the potential for humor in poems, and what it was like to compose and read a commissioned poem to Congress in the wake of 9/11. A poet of tremendous generosity and warmth, Collins opens up about his own ethnic identity, the minimal role – as he sees it – of his Irish-ness in his work, and his work as Poet Laureate to give high school students the chance to interact with poetry without the intermediary of a teacher.
Paul Muldoon emphasizes the need for people to read poetry in order to understand how to read poetry, comparing it to the endless work people tend to put in learning how to watch television and movies. He talks about the idea of his work being inaccessible and about the way in which young students are often taught poetry in a way that makes them feel alienated from it. His childhood in rural Ireland, and his interest from an early age in American culture, particularly Western movies, makes this interview a good window through which to view his long-standing relationship with America, where he has now lived and taught for many years. Speaking from the offices of Princeton University, where he teaches, Muldoon makes clear what it is that drives him to write poetry and describes the process of how the poems are written “through” him, rather than by him.
Featuring preeminent poets from both sides of the Atlantic, this episode shows the commonalities between poets whose work could not be more different.
