ENDORSEMENTS for Mary Mulholland's poetry

Rebecca Goss: 

'Mary Mulholland is an accomplished poet, consistently producing rich and varied work. Unafraid to experiment, her poems kindle a range of emotional responses, and we are always left stirred by something original.  Dedicated, engaged and inspiring, it has been a pleasure to work with Mary.'  

​

Daljit Nagra:

'Mary Mulholland is an exciting fresh voice on the poetry scene whose playfulness and wit is matched by a joyous intellect that is ever alert to personal and political issues, and who happens to be a superb reader of her work!'

​

Roy McFarlane:

'Mary Mulholland writes with a rich alchemy of words, turn of phrases, precise and clear with a sense of vulnerability under the surface on subjects of womanhood, family, nature, place and many more subjects.’
