O Body (Sullivan Dan Sully)(Paperback)

A collection of moving and tender poems that delves into questions of masculinity, fatherhood, home, and learning to live in and love one's own body.

In his second full-length poetry collection, Chicago-born poet Dan "Sully" Sullivan considers the male body--its momentum and privilege when moving through the world, but also its softness and vulnerability. Through these intimate, well-crafted, introspective poems, Sully reveals a speaker who is unwaveringly honest, fragile, and self-conscious regarding his relationship to his body and how it is perceived in the world. As the poems unfold and questions unravel, the book challenges wider social systems that uphold patriarchal notions of masculinity, seeking to achieve a new register of compassion, of self-love.

O Body is also a migration narrative, navigating the physical distances
