Howdie Skelp

He was born in County Armagh in 1951 and now lives in New York. A former radio and television producer for the BBC in Belfast, he has been Oxford Professor of Poetry and has taught at Princeton University, where he is the Howard G. B. Clark Professor in the Humanities, for more than thirty years.

We are delighted to host Paul Muldoon for the London launch of his fourteenth poetry collection, Howdie Skelp at The Coronet Theatre on 20 October 2021. The poems in this collection include a nightmare-ish remake of The Waste Land, and a crown of sonnets in response to the early days of the Covid pandemic.
