About the Author:

David Allen Sullivan was born in Champaign Urbana, Illinois, where his father was earning a doctorate. After a year in Palo Alto, David spent most of his childhood in Vermont, while his father taught Political Science at nearby Dartmouth College, conducted research on politicians' facial gestures, and took the family on a one-year sabbatical in Vienna. David attended the University of Chicago, and went on to study with James McMichael at the University of California, Irvine, where he earned his PhD. His first book was Strong-Armed Angels, and three of its poems were read by Garrison Keillor on The Writer's Almanac. Every Seed of the Pomegranate, a multi-voiced series of poems about the U.S. invasion of Iraq, followed. With Abbas Kadim he co-translated the selected poems of Iraqi Adnan Al-Sayegh, which was published as Bombs Have Not Breakfasted Yet. David teaches at Cabrillo Community College, where he edits the Porter Gulch Review with his students, and lives in Santa Cruz with his love, the historian Cherie Barkey, and their two children, Jules and Amina Barivan. He was awarded a Fulbright, and taught in Xi'an, China for one year: yesdasullivan.tumblr.com. His poems and books can be found at http://davidallensullivan.weebly.com/index.html.
