Anyone read Muldoon's 'Incantata'? - his beautiful, rambling homage
& elegy to the Irish printmaker Mary Farl Powers? Krapp, Watt,
Vladimir & Estragon get a serious working over, as do many others
from many sources. This poem is a fine e.g. of sampling, where
fragments are made to cohere, lyrically. It comes in & out of focus:
static? scratches on the emulsion? a non-fatal error while
bodysurfing the web? It's brilliant.
