"Poignant poems about moments of grace, light beaming through darkness, and beauty found in unexpected places. Sullivan employs a consistently investigative approach that immediately draws readers in. His curiosity and humility are disarming, and readers will willingly follow his path of discovery, without fear of getting lost, becoming overpowered, or feeling emotionally spent. Sullivan's deftly written poems have a wonderful and appealing balance of emotion and intellect. Lyrical, elegant, and polished, his poetry resonates with distinctive imagery and music. . . . A strong new poetic voice whose poems add a little more light to the world." --Booklist The poems in Slag begin with everyday experiences--a glance at a construction site or the boredom of waiting for a bus--and then use such unpromising events to explore what Mexican poet Octavio Paz once called "the dark, forgotten miracle of being alive." Whether meditating on New York's diamond district or the death of the last person to have known Van Gogh, Mark Sullivan's lyric consciousness expands from initial points of contact to ever-broadening associations. The result is an evocative, reflective poetry that recognizes in the slow advance of the loris across its Bronx Zoo cage what it means "to love the world or to fear / it." Sullivan pays special attention to animals and the natural world, to the visual arts, and to the relentless stimulation of the nation's largest city, his free verse creating a lucid language where slam dunks and Zeno's paradoxes coexist, where the stillness of a snail discovered in a package of spinach reveals "the process that makes the world." "The poetry of Mark Sullivan slows time down, sees the world calmly, clearly, as a whole with a precise and tender attention that strives to do justice to the complex mysteries of existence. In this it is a classical poetry for our time: wise, humane, objective, deeply felt, paying homage to the wonder and sorrow of our world." --Louis Asekoff, author of North Star From "Slag" What are stones but the slowest of clocks, half-lives ticking down every millennium or so, subatomic gears meshing like ocean liners

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF AMERICAN MEDICINE/Finding a Cure for a Terminal System From The Introduction: During the recent Supreme Court battle, great emphasis was placed on access to health care and insurance -- but health insurance reform is not the same as healthcare reform. Nothing fundamental has changed, meanwhile, about costs that will continue to skyrocket. The major businesses, including the legal industry, will obtain enormous financial gains from the new laws and regulations. The mandate to some 45 million middle-class Americans to buy insurance is another corporate giveaway. The pharmaceutical and insurance interests want to make more money off a sick population, but the system under them atrophies, it does not grow. The more the economy and the health of Americans deteriorate, the more money these businesses manage to make via the politicians they buy out. But such a system has no future as the predator ultimately drains the host. The compensatory measure is to go to Congress to get laws passed that force people to pay these companies anyway -- like the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, or the mandatory insurance law set to go into effect in 2014. This book offers some dramatic possibilities for a turnaround in our healthcare system, and not just in health insurance. The author, a doctor with 45 years of experience in American medicine, shows us how we can reverse our current, swift decline. His agenda is both comprehensive and profound.
