Haven

by Kevin Patrick Sullivan, Paintings and Poetry by Patti Sullivan

With the poetry and art collection Haven, the husband and wife team of Kevin Patrick Sullivan and Patti Sullivan capture the essence of romance, a glimpse into the joy of human connection.

Declared by the City Council of San Luis Obispo as a “cultural asset,” Poet Laureate Emeritus of SLO Kevin Patrick Sullivan joins his wife Patti Sullivan for a collection of evocative love poems and enchanting art, intertwining tenderness and passion in a beautiful full-color collection of paintings and poems.

In the poem “Sleepers,” Sullivan writes:

Under the silkwood
sky of night
we build
inside each other
a new skin
something to be
out in the world
in.

This book includes pieces from their ARTLIFE Archives, with Patti Sullivan’s painting and collage work pairing perfectly with the poems inside.
