The Surface
1990

C.K. Williams wrote about Laura Mullen’s The Surface, “There’s a rigor and intensity in Mullen’s quest for truth that often take her to breathtaking lengths…The diction in Mullen’s poems can seem jagged, the movement of her voice and intellect through reality quirky, but her poems work hard, their moral struggles are very real, and they always resolve toward generosity, toward conscious attempts at selflessness and love.”
