Praise & Reviews
ThIs is A RARE CREATION of song and scar, of vulnerability and emotional complexity. In Mary Mullen's new collection
A Thousand Cabbages, the natural and human worlds mingle in accessible yet almost mythic ways
JOHN SIBLEY WILLIAMS,
author of Scale Model of a Country at Dawn
The poems in this collection go behond a simple understanding that motherhood, that living, are prayerful, sometimes quiet, often angry; always true. Each poem is a lens through which Mullen comments on the state of our society, politics, self-love, and extraordinary life beneath the headlines.
