Victoria Sullivan Knihy

Eight plays, all written in this century, in which leading women dramatists present their own pictures of their sex.

A book of poetry and art, with poems by Victoria Sullivan and art by Barbara Milman. A conversation of sorts between poetry and art, where the poems and the art form an installation on the page. Sullivan's poems range from contemplations of the seasons, the natural losses of life, and the humor of daily existence to the endless desire for eros and rebirth. Milman's work, derived from digital photographs, provides powerful images that play off against the words. Sullivan's poetry has been described by critics as "wildly revelatory" and "exquisitely beautiful," while Milman's has been called "powerful," "haunting," and "almost mystical."

Emphasizing the emotional connection between a young boy and his story, this children's poem captures his longing for the narrative to continue as he pleads with his mother to read anything else. His desire to prolong the adventure reflects the magic of storytelling and the bond it creates between parent and child.
