 Pulitzer prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon reads from Horse Latitudes. The recipient of numerous awards, honors and prizes, Muldoon has been called “the most significant English-language poet born since the second World War” (The Times Literary Supplement). The title refers to the area thirty degrees north and south of the equator in which sailing ships tend to be becalmed, in which stasis (if not stagnation) is the order of the day. Paul Muldoon was born in 1951 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, and educated in Armagh and at the Queen's University of Belfast. From 1973 to 1986 he worked in Belfast as a radio and television producer for the BBC. Since 1987 he has lived in the United States, where he is now Howard G. B. Clark '21 Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University and Chair of the UniversityCenter for the Creative and Performing Arts. Between 1999 and 2004 he was Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford.
