With Greil Marcus

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon has been described as “the most significant English-language poet born since the Second World War.” But Muldoon also has a passion for rock and roll, collaborating with the legendary songwriter Warren Zevon and playing in his band Wayside Shrines.
