Mullen's poetry is at first playful, full or puns and puzzles: wordplay. But then, along the way, somewhere between reference books, other patterns emerge!

This poem really landed for me: "Elliptical" by Harryette Mullen. I can't put all the tags I think are relevant because that fills in blanks you can fill in for yourself. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51632/elliptical

“what is it when a death is ruled a homicide but no one is
responsible for it”—Hanif Abdurraqib

We are not responsible. We have not
the capacity to respond, cannot take
your call, are not obliged.

“Along the roadside, someone has spilled pink Styrofoam peanuts. They add color to the grassy green, but I still prefer flowers.

99 dashing dots crisscross the walk, red ants converging on a spot where someone’s dropped a greasy bite of pepperoni.

Intrepid, worldly, & sophisticated food critic laments she’s found no wine pairs well w scorpions or tarantulas….

Yesterday we talked about your favorite #poem. Today you brought a gift of fully ripe persimmons in a paper bag.”
