His talent at executing poetic devices means the reader need not understand the theory behind poetry to get a, "Wow, those are powerful images!" reaction. Mark brings more than talent to the table though... Mark connects to his audiences by evoking their senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch) and little else. He has recognized that abstraction does imagery little good, and relating the message in the familiar language of our senses is both more effective and more moving. For those that don't know, Mark remembers imagery best by describing it in words and/or saying it aloud. It is through daily cultivation of this approach to memory that he has become so astute at describing imagery to others. Keep an eye on this rising star!

For those that don’t know, Mark remembers imagery best by describing it in words and/or saying it aloud. It is through daily cultivation of this approach to memory that he has become so astute at describing imagery to others.

Keep an eye on this rising star!

Mark puts his whole soul into his work. His poetry is beautiful and passionate and I can not wait to hear more from this amazing artist. I have been blown away by Mark’s poetry time and time again.
