Summary: Plan B is an extraordinary successful collaboration between the Irish poet Paul Muldoon and the acclaimed Scottish photographer Norman McBeath, in which there's an uncanny relationship between word and black-and-white image. Although a McBeath photograph (of a statue of Apollo wrapped in polythene) is directly invoked in one poem, much of the success of this beautiffully produced book has to do with indirection and evocation. It's as if this book presents us with a distinctly new genre - photoetry.
