About the film (from the Princeton Garden Theatre):
"Paul Muldoon: Laoithe is Lirici (A Life in Lyrics)" is feature-length documentary film about the Pulitzer Prize-winning Irish writer Paul Muldoon which creatively composes the story of Muldoon’s life through poems and special performances. The film chronicles his beginnings as a radio producer with BBC in Belfast to his time as Princeton’s Howard G.B. Clark ’21 University Professor in the Humanities, director of the Princeton Atelier, and professor of creative writing. Featuring Paul Simon, Liam Neeson, P.J. Harvey, Bono, Ruth Negga, Paul Brady, Iarla Ó Lionáird and others, and using Muldoon’s own words, "Laoithe is Lirici" is an imaginative and innovative tribute to a great literary mind.
