Synopsis "Almost Whole: New and Selected Poems (in English)"
"From reflections such as his son's high school marching band, a freshly pulled pint of Guinness Stout, a fabric of passed down christening gown, to historic town buildings or North Andover's first hometown Poet Laureate: Anne Bradstreet; Mark's poetry collection Almost Whole, tells many stories of the old and of the new.They ask many questions, seek many answers and give voice to Mark's many enriching stories and journeys across history, time and space.From his narrow town of North Andover, Massachusetts, United States, to the larger Earth and Solar System, to the broader Arm of Orion in the Milky Way, out to the far, far, far, way out Observable Universe -he carries us even further beyond this knowable space to the spiritual, mindful, subliminal, to even the Beatles' kaleidoscope eyes.Mark's poems rocket the reader on a journey where they'll welcome these new and selected poems as their new friends.Just maybe they too will become whole ... almost." Lee Eric Freedman, past Poet Laureate of Swampscott, MA
