Horse Latitudes by Paul Muldoon is another stunning book of poetry, carrying its heavy emotional and conceptual weight with a skip in its stride, and Muldoon's instantly-recognisable wit and verve.

Paul Muldoon's new collection opens with a sonnet sequence, 'Horse Latitudes', written as the U.S. embarked on its foray into Iraq. Poems on historical battles where horses played an important part present us with a commentary on the political agenda of America today.
