Some rock musicians have been known to write poetry. Others have even looked to poets for inspiration. The music of Bob Dylan and Patti Smith, to take two examples, owes much to Arthur Rimbaud, a 19th-century French poet. But few contemporary poets regard rock lyrics with anything close to critical admiration. Paul Muldoon may be the exception to this rule. A Northern Irish poet based in America, Mr Muldoon has won a Pulitzer prize and is a professor at Princeton University. His playful and inventive poetry has invited comparisons with Seamus Heaney, and he has often been mooted to be his successor.
