I am happy to announce the release of my fourth and fifth books

Cuddle your Curmudgeons — domestic storms and sun breaks

This is the fourth (and probably final) book in my set of illustrated, themed collections.

Cuddle your Curmudgeons is a tender and honest look at the heartaches and joys of family life. These poems are the most personal and particular ones the author has written, covering a short period when her children are teenagers, and the family members struggle for harmony, connection, and a clear sense of purpose. Through the struggles shine bright gleams of the triumph of love and the victory of peace in her household.

Here are some of the illustrations from Cuddle your Curmudgeons:

Also out is my first unillustrated, longer collection:

Journeying — selected poems

This volume contains four poetic journeys. The first, called Journeying, invites you to travel along the path of transformation, with all its swoops, turns, and still points. The second, Thought’s Landscapes, takes you on explorations of the mind — the realm of story, dream, perspective, time and infinity. The third journey, called Earth Whispers, takes you through the arc of the seasons, with its changes, emotions, and epiphanies. The final journey is Prayer, which takes you inward to where everything opens out and you find peace and home.

Here is the information on my previous three books:

Revolution is a call to action — not so much the dogged plodding of political activism as the rising of hearts in the spontaneous assertion of the right to live full and free. Wendy Mulhern’s poems offer inspiration and empowerment, and her artwork unfolds a story of strength and hope.

Attraction. Confusion. Exhilaration. Recalibration. Soothing. All are part of the romance adventure chronicled in Capture Rapture. Wendy Mulhern’s poems provide deft observation and keen insight into the many phases of romance, as well as offering a chart to guide those who embark on the adventure through the sometimes stormy waters to the calm of love.

Capture Rapture is available at CreateSpace.com (click picture to go there). It’s also on Amazon. Or, if you live in the Seattle area, contact me to purchase it locally.

Infinite Permission will take you along a path of liberation — liberation from constricting concepts of body image, identity and purpose to a fuller range of movement and a deeper sense of spiritual wholeness. Wendy Mulhern’s tender poetry finds a synergistic accompaniment in Mellissae Lucia’s luminous art.
