| The New York Times called Mary Ann Sullivan's first novel, Child of War, set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, "an earnest first novel," and that book was named a Notable Book in Social Studies by the National Council of Social Studies and Children's Book Council. Her poetry has been published online at places such as the BBC Arts Online and BlazeVox, her literary interviews and commentaries at places such as Jacket and The Poetry Library, Southbank Centre, London. While a cloistered Cistercian nun, Sullivan wrote poetry using a monastic contemplative practice called lectio divina. Those poems appear in her e-chap Mending My Black Sweater, published by eratio Editions, a Brooklyn-based publishing company. An associate professor at Hesser College in New Hampshire, Sullivan teaches creative writing, composition and communications courses, and earned a Doctor of Arts Degree from Franklin Pierce University and an MFA in Writing from Norwich University. |
