the elimination game (Broken Sleep Books, 2025) £10.99
– ‘a candid, sharply observed pamphlet that confronts ageing, mortality, and memory with wit, lyric clarity, and occasional surrealism’
review by Emma Simon in The Friday Poem: ‘these poems are filled with a sense of wonder, discovery and potential. […] a pamphlet that explores the possibilities […] of life continuing to open up to new experiences and new challenges, rather than narrowing or closing down […] a fresh and very welcome take on getting older.’ read it here
review by Matthew Paul on his blog: ‘With wit, humour and carefully contained ire, the elimination game tackles the stereotypes, pitfalls and apparent invisibility of older women in contemporary British society. […] These are heartfelt poems.’ Read it here
review by Diana Cant in London Grip ‘frank and eloquent’, ‘a searching for a personal truth, marrying humour with defiance’ , ‘layers of complexity’, read it here
review by Mab Jones in Buzzwords: ‘a space where defiance and tenderness sit side by side; where the body may falter but imagination and creative spirit refuse to.’ ‘sharp, spirited, and wonderfully alive’ – read it here
review by Sue Wallace-Shaddad in The High Window: ‘rich use of language’, ‘rebellious’, ‘a lightness of touch’, ‘a pamphlet to savour’ read it here

‘an engaging pamphlet..’ the sheep provide a wonderful platform to explore a relationship and nature’ (Sue Wallace-Shaddad, Sphinx Review)
‘A playful poet with a stylistic range… a controlled intensity masquerading in the ligthness of the quotidian, whilst dealing with larger subjects’ (Wendy Kyle, London Grip)
‘I admire Mulholland’s sense of restraint in these poems… You come away entranced … slightly changed by the experience. Beautiful and mysterioous, full of startling images […]’comments obliquely on the human relationships.’ (Emma Simon, The Friday Poem)
‘Mulholland is a poet who can ask some large questiosns with lightness of touch’ (Diana Cant, The Alchemy Spoon, issue 8)

‘a painterly and mystical style […] imaginative leaps and rich mix of imagery’ (Sue Wallace-Shaddad, London Grip)
‘Powerfully emotive and incredibly affecting throughout’ (Kathleen O’Driscoll, Buzz magazine)
‘Mulholland’s poems are lyrical and paint a picture’ (DIana Cant, The Alchemy Spoon, issue 6)
‘Musicallity is central to Mulholland’s poems. […] If these are poems of loss they are also poems of finding a place of fracture – and understanding it contains its own wholeness’ (alice hiller, http://www.voicingoursilences.com)
