The poems in Zephyr are crafted by a poet with a fresh voice who invites us into three unique places: Alaska, the west of Ireland, and the world of a girl with Down syndrome. This first collection of poems by Mary Mullen is cinematically beautiful, and brightly honest in exploring the emotional landscape of single motherhood, inclusion, the search for belonging, the art of dancing with a foot on two continents, and the longing for a world set right. These carefully crafted poems will linger as all good poetry does.
