The latest installment of Sullivan’s Elsewhere series is a “best of” collection from the last ten years of “The New Life,” the poet/cartoonist’s ongoing strip in Rain Taxi Review of Books. Autobiography, satire, elegy, and homage molecularly combine in a magic elixir that transmutes the story of experimental U.S. poetry c. 1997-2007 from nerdy fringe pursuit into straight rye whiskey, 100 proof. “How cd there be all that light & no life?”
