Dark Archive (2011),
Murmur (2007),
Subject (2005),
After I Was Dead (1999),

a Sound Uttered, a Silence crossed (for choir and percussion) which was commissioned by the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, and has been performed at Notre Dame and Williams College, and the composer Jason Eckardt’s setting of her poem “The Distance (This)” was released as Undersong by Mode records in 2011. Recent poems have been published in
The Nation, Poetry, Conjunctions, and Lana Turner. She teaches in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is in Paris on a Trelex residency.
Mullen will be reading from her current project, about which she explains: “The questions informing my work revolve uneasily around the problem of identity and the entwined issues of visibility and recognition. The collection I am working on explores contemporary selfhood, socially mediated and economically motivated, where it manifests and competes as one marketable image among many, at the point where “brand” displaces character and the corporal and corporate intersect. In these linked lyric poems I’m working through the entangled social and economic panic that can make being-in-the-world seem less like a spiritual and physical adventure than one long, tricky, “pitch.” Where our right to sell ourselves serves as proof that we own ourselves, where celebrities are empty heroes, famous for being famous, an ongoing cognitive dissonance generates multiple efforts to “correct” a previous impression in the wake of viral revelations and increasing surveillance. The valorization of confessional and entrepreneurial impulses in the tight nexus between Christianity and capitalism is part of my subject matter, as are those misrecognitions or prejudices (class bias, sexism, racism, and ageism) which shape a sense of self in relation to rejected or oppressed others.” For more on Laura Mullen, see her website at
