Mary Mulholland's poetry debut, The Dodo Stories, delves into the complex and haunting dynamics of a mother-daughter relationship, framed by the shadow of a secretive maternal lineage in Guyana. The collection paints a complex picture of the struggles that haunt a family's past, the fractured inheritance of diaspora, the intergenerational silenced grief that is passed down. The Dodo Stories is a testament to the search for lost parts of the self, echoing with a history that refuses to stay buried.
