The Problem of Boredom in Paradise Selected Poems by Paul Hannigan Paul Hannigan Books
Paul Hannigan's poetic voice was much like his speaking voice: oblique, self-referential, and deeply ironic. Either conversing with him or reading his poetry could be an unnerving experience. Many of his poems settle for the Billy Collins punch line; but the best ones complicate their world in ways that, although in some ways characteristic of much poetry of the 70s, are also peculiar to this complex, maddening, and occasionally endearing poet. I don't know how he must sound to younger poets now--probably too brittle and sarcastic. But some of his poems remain compelling, and still have something to teach us about ourselves.Product details
