With lyrical understatement and often self-deprecating humor, the author pierces the shadow of the human heart with these poems, retrieving unexpected yet everyday insights.
Professional Reviews
Lloyd Schwartz, 1994 Pulitzer Prize winner, Criticism
"A writer with a gift for language and the way a poem moves, Mullaney even displays a sense of humor and a political conscience--from the wonderful, sexy "Don't Stop Your Hand Moving" to the strange and haunting "Temple of Set." "Pythagoras" has a surprising subject beautifully observed. "Chocolate for Vicky and THE BOY" is a small tour de force. Delicious!"
The Malcontent (www.malcontent.biz)
"Mullaney creates constellations of images in his poems that reach out in all directions, like a soul grasping at the corners of human existence."
Keith Hampton, founder of Boston-based Brave Records
"Follow the Wolf Moon is sensual and sardonic...[It] reflects on moments of life that shine in the mind. They surprise you at first, but offer relief when you relax into them."
Follow the Wolf Moon captures in title the nights of which I live, being a wolf keeper myself. Good luck to you S. Donovan Mullaney and welcome to the Den, sir. You will find it to your liking and much appreciation to you for sharing your work with us. Blessed Be.
