“With wildly-original images, sparkling wit, and a voice all
her own, Olive writes poetry of expansive courage and vision, tipping
over the edge of dreams we can remember without understanding, and celebrating
the impermanence of life’s nuances. In the end, she illuminates the vital
colors, textures, shapes of pure desire, deep quandaries, and the kind of
exploration that brings us to the essence of home—all on the way to “Welcome
the spirits in.” As she writes in her poem, Praise Song for the River, “We come
to god each in our own way/ but we find ourselves on the banks of the same
river,/ our hot feet dangling in the same cool green water.” This collection of
poetry shines with originality, wisdom, and power as it continually tilts the
reader toward new ways to perceive their own journeys.”

In addition to writing, Olive L. Sullivan performs in the band Amanita, and in her free time, likes to fly-fish with her husband, the scholar and writer Stephen Harmon; take long walks with dogs; and travel anywhere that requires a passport. She is an apprentice bookbinder.
