The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally,sensitive. To him, a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate create, create, create - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildingsmeaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.

Born a British subject of an English mother and Irish catholic father in the late January of ’53; ‘Sullivan’ spent his early years with his family in the Far East.Returning with his parents to England in the late fifties where heeducated. Thereafter pursuing what could perhaps be best described as a broadly colourful career; with callings as diver...se as gun dealer and consultant, freelancemagazine editor, commercial photographer, publican,lecturer and an unpaid ‘Special Needs’ tutor: To name but a few under the flag enjoying the Queen’s shilling! Throughout which the only truly common thread has been his writing, an enduring passion never completely abandoned; Fuelled by his lifelong fascination with notthe beauty of the English language and its literature in

diversity of its poetry in particular. A fascination well illustrated in the almost perverse multiplicitysubject matter contained within his poerty collections... Widely published in mediums as eclectic as his work, from poetry anthologies to text books; wall hangings and mixed media fine art works: ‘Sullivan’ is seemingly content to share, withpoetic medium takes his fancy; His works, his philosophies, his passions...
