Featured Poets
A MacDowell and Karolyi Foundation Fellow, a Rona Jaffe Award recipient, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, Laura Mullen holds degrees from the University of Iowa and U.C. Berkeley. Her first book, The Surface, was a National Poetry Series selection: her subsequent poetry collections and hybrid-genre works have been published by the University of California Press, FuturePoem, and Otis / Seismicity—among other presses. Her collaboration with composer Nathan Davis—"a Sound uttered, a Silence crossed"—had its premiere in La Jolla in 2015, and a collaboration (Verge) with John David O'Brien was published in 2017. Mullen’s translation of Véronique Pittolo's Hero was published by Black Square Editions in 2019. Her 9th book, a collection of poems titled EtC, was published by Solid Objects in 2023.
