Reviews

"Through Mulhallen's poems we enter 'the mangled beauty of the world.' In the small universe of her exquisite urban garden visited by hawks; in the large universe of her language where words, archaic and modern, sing, we share her elegiac apology to our despoiled planet and her need to celebrate the beauty of now, with love and longing." --Rosemary Sullivan, author, Stalin's Daughter
