Cloud 9

In life, we hold people and memories closely connected to our upbringing close. Actually, closer than close. Those innate beings and feelings are embedded in who we are as individuals. They're ingrained in our actions, the way we process our everyday existence, as well as the daydreams that flitter into our brains as we drive to some mundane place, such as class or work. Essentially, this "baggage" follows us everywhere, never leaving us. It is this that which sophomore poet C. M. Sullivan offers his personal histories and insights on - celebrating those very innate beings and feelings that have made him all the more whole throughout his short twenty years of being the person he writes as today. Written across four sections - Celebrating Emotions, Celebrating Friends, Celebrating Family, and arguably most important, Celebrating Me - C. M. Sullivan brings his audience closer to him, while simultaneously suggesting readers study themselves more closely too. Sullivan provides innovative imagery and bold, brilliant fine-tune details in his celebratory sophomore poetry collection, Cloud 9.
