Mrs. Mulligatawny

by Arthur Macy

Mrs. Mulligatawny is a collection of poems by Arthur Macy, a native of Nantucket. Macy's poems are infused with the unique flavor of his island home, drawing on local color, nautical imagery, and the Quaker traditions that shaped his upbringing. The poems capture the beauty and resilience of Nantucket life, reflecting the island's history, people, and natural environment. While the poems are rooted in specific place and time, they also speak to universal themes of love, loss, faith, and the enduring power of nature. This collection offers a glimpse into the heart and mind of a true Nantucket poet.
