Only Breath and Shadow: Collected Poems, Vol. II

In his second collection of poetry, John 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.
