Sara Mullen finds joy in the minute, and excels at pared-back, exacting detail. The poems in Cassata are moving elegies to a near-past, as well as paeans to life’s glories. Like her foremother Eavan Boland, Mullen’s poems are home-bound, celebrating all that is meaningful in well-lived, complex lives. These are delicate, beautiful works and Mullen is truly a poet.
Nuala O’Connor, author of Menagerie
