WestportREADS Event Features Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author

Westport Country Playhouse Artistic Director Mark Lamos interviewed Ireland-born Pulitzer prize-winning author Paul Muldoon tonight as part of the Westport Library’s WestportREADS program this month featuring James Joyce’s “Dubliners.” Muldoon’s most recent book, “One Thousand Things Worth Knowing” was released Jan. 13. Muldoon, poetry editor of the New Yorker Magazine and who grew up in Ireland said, ”I’m predisposed to rhyme more then most writers today. Rhyme was influenced through my upbringing.” He lightheartedly referred to Ireland as always being behind the times and said he was unaware that poets had strayed away from rhyme as a poetry form.
