Synopsis
In Lullaby and Wheel, Rick Mullin commemorates all that is precious in life—essential things like love, music, art, and “the dream-known way of imagined life”—while also lamenting and indicting a society held hostage by corporate avarice and reductive scientism. And he does all of this in an array of finely crafted sonnets, sapphics, villanelles, and other forms. His voice is “a miracle against the jeers” of 21st century American culture.
—Kevin Cutrer, author of Lord’s Own Anointed
Rick Mullin’s poems have a noir-tinged edginess. They get under our skin—politicians and other con artists speak to us about the corruption of body and soul. Perhaps the most chilling voice is that of Daddy, who tells his daughter about the days before the Monster went away, when children were quizzed on history at gunpoint in a room without their parents. When her name is called, he tells her, “just let Daddy do the talking.” These are the songs of an empire in decline.
—Hilary Sideris, author of Un Amore Veloce
From the moment you read the first poems in Lullaby and Wheel, you know you are in the hands of a master. Rick Mullin’s voice is one of the most distinctive and recognizable in metrical poetry today, and this collection sees the poet at the top of his form. Effortlessly switching from the whimsical to the philosophical to the deeply personal to the fanciful and again to the personal, these profoundly enriching poems guide the reader through a whirlwind of emotions and mindsets, recognizable and startling in equal measure.
—Anton Yakovlev, author of Ordinary Impalers
