About DL Mullan

DL Mullan’s Avatar

 

DL Mullan is much more than a lyrical and literary poet. Her elementary school taught Japanese theater and poetry, foreign languages, writing, cooking, drama, as well as drawing skills. Secondary education was an Arts Magnet High school, introducing her to the technical side of art through theater and concert choir. Everything a budding artist would need until community college filled her with a love for poetry. As a poet, she won academic awards and writing credits. Director of her own community poetry group, she presented, taught the love of poetry, as well as created her own poetic forms. During 2020, participants from around the world, including Europe and Asia, flocked to Undawnted to learn poetry from Ms. Mullan. Experience poetry in genres and styles that aren’t in the traditional English textbooks, but should be.

Ms. Mullan holds several college degrees, including a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies, as well as a Masters of Arts in Teaching and Learning with Technology.

What Should We Name This War?
I hate war
Yet rich men love it
I am right
you are wrong
guns tanks bombs your side my side
only death and blood

Kay Castaneda

Shadorma-a Spanish poetic form of six-line stanzas, or sestets, and a syllable count for each line: (3/5/3/3/7/5).
