Notes from a Marine Biologist’s Daughter
This collection of poems pays tribute to a mother whose deep attentions to the natural world shaped the daughter’s ways of being and perceiving.
……………………
Notes from a Marine Biologist’s Daughter made me want to bow down and tap dance at the same time. It left me with a powerful (and lasting) feeling that, not only are we surrounded by quiet and not-so-quiet miracles, but we live inside and within a vast, complex, wonderfully inexplicable and explicable Being (called whatever you wish). There’s no pantheism or fancy posturing here. Just the astounding beauty of reality.

Learning Calabar: Notes from a Poet’s Year in Nigeria
“Learning Calabar is a wonderful tribute to the people and place of Calabar, a major port for the trans-Atlantic slave trade from the 1600s to 1840, and the first capital of Nigeria, until 1906. In poetry and prose, with an open mind and an attitude of solidarity, Sullivan bears witness to the struggles and triumphs of her contemporary Calabar neighbors. The long poem “Mary Okoi’s Garden” creates a striking portrait of working class “women’s power” in a West African context.”
