Description
Paul Muldoon's new collection opens with a sonnet sequence, 'Horse Latitudes', written as the U.S. embarked on its foray into Iraq. This poem marks a turning point in the book, which explores historical battles where horses played an important part. The poems that follow offer a commentary on the political agenda of America today, drawing connections between past conflicts and present-day issues. Through his characteristic wit and linguistic skill, Muldoon sheds light on the complexities of human conflict and the enduring power of language. With its unique blend of historical insight and poetic nuance, 'Horse Latitudes' is a thought-provoking collection that invites readers to reflect on the nature of war, politics, and identity.
