But the “summer jam” — “summer song”, “sound of the summer,” whatever incarnation you please — is one of those weighty clichés
Muldoon on Ke$ha: Tiger Mag gets love from New Yorker, HuffPo, IvyGate
Saturday, 17 April 2010
by Giri Nathan
[UPDATED BELOW] The Princeton Tiger, our resident humor rag, has been absolutely tearing up the internets lately. Their latest video, “Discussions in Contemporary Poetry: A conversation with Paul Muldoon,” features some erudite commentary from our beloved Professor of Creative Writing.

Princeton’s Premier Personality (and no, it’s not Cornel West)
Thursday, 04 February 2010
by Julia Bumke
As Cornel West receives his fair share of air time for his outspoken criticism of Obama, it’s worthwhile to remember that our favorite snazzily-dressed Tigertown celebrity has some pretty stiff competition for the coveted position of Princeton’s most intriguing faculty member. Case in point: Paul Muldoon, whose roles as a professor, poet, and rock band leader
VIDEO: The Dinky Controversy Explained

460 feet. That’s the distance the Dinky Station would move toward Princeton Junction if the University has its way. But ever since the University announced in 2006 its intention to move the Dinky Station to make room for the Arts and Transit Neighborhood, Borough officials and residents have been up in arms about the proposed

Students of ATL498: Bodies in Evidence, a class co-taught by novelist Toni Morrison and installation artist Christian Tomaszewski, took over the Lucas Gallery this week to produce a maze-like exhibit called Middle End Beginning.

Poetry Rocks! Or, How I Learned that Princeton is Better with Poets than Bands
Tuesday, 28 April 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
Yeah, we’re probably going to have to drink more than we otherwise would have to “enjoy” Gym Class Heroes, and yeah, it seems like a lot of money to spend when the student body probably would have responded better to a Journey cover band. But if you need to restore your faith in Princeton’s ability

by Samantha Pergadia
Professor Paul Muldoon, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, will rediscover his Northern Ireland roots as he spends St. Patrick’s Day with President Obama and 400 other Irish guests for celebrations at the White House. Lets hope the green-dyed fountains and Irish whiskey provide Muldoon with all the poetic inspiration he needs for some more “Moy Sand
