  Alice Quinn, the poetry editor of The New Yorker, is stepping down after 20 years and will be succeeded in one of the most influential posts in the poetry world by Paul Muldoon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet.
  Mr. Muldoon, 56, will remain chairman of the Princeton University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts. An Irish-born poet who has published 10 volumes of verse, he will also continue to write and teach at Princeton.
  Ms. Quinn, 58, will leave the magazine in early November. She is executive director of the Poetry Society of America and an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s School of the Arts. She said she wanted to devote more time to those jobs as well as to a collection of Elizabeth Bishop’s journals and notebooks that she is editing. “I had to keep stealing days to get up to the archive during the week,” she said, referring to the collection of Ms. Bishop’s papers at Vassar College. “I don’t want to take five or six years doing this book.”
  Mr. Muldoon quickly emerged as the leading candidate after Ms. Quinn announced her intentions.
