John Montague and Paul Muldoon Reading at Cúirt Festival
Poets John Montague and Paul Muldoon (featured on the OL course) read on the Saturday night of this year’s Cúirt Festival at The Town Hall Theatre.
Montague had recently been in hospital for an operation, but still maintained a coy sense of humour throughout the reading. Upon reaching the lectern, he mused wryly, “I see a few books here. I think I wrote them”.
He opened with “The Trout”. I wish I had been quick enough to record it. He noted that the poem is dedicated to Irish artist and avid fisherman Barrie Cooke. He unfortunately passed away last year.
At eighty-six years of age, Montague managed to engage the audience fully throughout the reading due to his wit and warmth.
He signed books after the reading, and I’ll admit I was one of the first pushing through. After a busy book signing, I noted he was still standing at the bar as we left around 11 o’clock.
Paul Muldoon is featured on your OL course with his poem, “Anseo”. Even for those of you taking the HL paper, it might be a nice poem to look at for an unseen poetry question. Muldoon is a powerhouse in his own right. He is the current poetry editor of my favourite publictation, The New Yorker, a professor at Princeton, and plays in a few bands.
from Sea Stallion by Gerry Hanberry The tide was big that morning with a good gust up so we sat back on a stone to see what the day would do. Steve saw it first, rising far out, its straining head and neck, a flowing white mane, its huge chest, its great round flanks and a white tail curling high behind as it charged headlong towards the shore. We knew straight away it was the sea-stallion.
