How to Compose Poetry (Paul Muldoon)


Paul Muldoon talks about How to Compose Poetry here

Some random favourite things he says are:

1. Don’t leave brain outside the door
2. At the risk of appearing tiresome, cherish ignorance to have half a chance of it happening
3. Patience
4. A 5 Minutes Flat syndrome...

* Amusing and insightful!

This keeps happening, I thought I left a comment the day I watched and listened to the Muldoon commentary. It's good to hear his dulcet tones :)
