Get both volumes of John Mulhall's poems together.
In Volume I, “A Beautiful Suffering,” Mulhall guides his readers through the various phases of love in his first collection of poems, An intense vulnerability and a complex tapestry of emotions – betrayal, lust, passion, sadness, and joy – are exquisitely displayed in his writing. When strung together, his stories illustrate the relatable suffering and bliss that accompany one of life’s central journeys, evoking empathy in the reader, and encouraging them to embrace the entirety of love’s beautiful, and at times ruthless, splendor.
In Volume II, "Only Breath and Shadow," Mulhall illustrates how lives are assembled from individual and unique moments — moments of companionship, isolation, self-doubt, euphoria, arrogance, bitterness, grief, and ultimately evolution. These deeply personal experiences layer on top of one another, effortlessly intermingling to create who we are. And though everyone’s journey is distinct, Mulhall focuses on the commonalities, the key experiences, the mutual agonies, and enduring lessons we might share, demonstrating that we are all, at our core, Only Breath and Shadow.
