Part of a paragraph in David Wheatley's review of Paul Muldoon's Bandanna in yesterday's editions was transposed to another. The paragraph should have read: "Muldoon now vies with John Ashbery for the title of most-frequently-imitated living poet, but while honours have come his way as thick and fast as Mexican illegals to the border crossing in Bandanna, he can always rely on Irish critics to wheel out the same old accusations . . ."

Where errors occur it is the policy of The Irish Times to correct or clarify as soon as practicable.
