Thanks Greil! This was an inspiring poem with much to unpack. Celebrating Warren everyday.

Speaking of Muldoon, series 2 with McCartney has begun: https://bit.ly/3OY9fQD

Made me wish I was there that night at Nobu. Must have taken great courage to ride shotgun with Zevon driving. I just ordered "Horse Latitudes." Writing commentary for McCartney's book of lyrics must have been interesting: I don't think there's any doubt that Muldoon's own lyrics (for Handsome Family too) are better, as standalone words. Is he still poetry editor at The New Yorker?

I don’t get it but then I’ve always disliked Muldoon’s work. Not sure why
