Why Brownlee Left, a Poetry Book Society Choice and winner of the
Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, confirmed Paul Muldoon's reputation
as the most inventive voice of his generation when it was first
published in 1980. The key figure in the poet's third collection is
the enigmatic Brownlee; strong-willed and wayward, past shaky,
future hazy, present whereabouts uncertain. There are many new
departures here, but Why Brownlee Left also explores with
increasing authority themes already apparent in New Weather (1973)
and Mules (1977). It culminates in a retelling of 'Immram Mael
Duin', a strange voyage of self-discovery by the poet's legendary
ancestor.
