New from Finishing Line Press: A Grown Boy’s Bookshelf by Ryan Mulligan

On SALE: https://finishinglinepress.com/product/a-grown-boys-bookshelf-by-ryan-mulligan/

A Grown Boy’s Bookshelf traces the earned dust of caregiving. These poems move through the shelves of a life—used mugs, soundtracks, might-nevers—cataloging the objects and rituals that shape endurance. They capture love practiced daily in kitchens, sidewalks, and safe rooms, in the songs that echo through memory. With humor and ache, the collection asks what we keep, what gathers dust, and how the daily work of showing up becomes devotion.

Ryan Mulligan is a consultant, former art professor, and father whose poems explore caregiving, family, and the small rituals that make survival tender.Instagram:

“Mulligan’s heartbreaking and razor-sharp collection is woven with small beauties, deep love, and quiet joys, while being haunted by the bone-deep exhaustion of parenthood, devastation for the world, and an aching grief for dozens of lives, real and imagined. I sobbed into my coffee as I read these poems; and, I’ll be whispering their cadences in my memory for a long time.”–Jamie Pacton, bestselling, award-winning author of Home Grown Magic, Furious, Lucky Girl, and The Vermilion Emporium.
