Synopsis

Eclogues for the hypermodern work-a-day round, Mark J. Mitchell swims through city streets gathering sensations and folding them into bread, or roses, or most often, both. These are witty poems that do not assume, and refuse to make a show of their intelligence.

Born in Chicago, when he was four when his family moved to Southern California, where he attended Catholic schools in Torrance and Redondo Beach. At the University of California at Santa Cruz he studied writing with George Hitchcock, Barbara Hall, and Raymond Carver, and Dante and Medieval literature with Robert M. Durling.


He has published two novels, Knight Prisoner and The Magic War. Another is on the way. An award-winning poet, he is the author of five full-length poetry collections, and six chapbooks.


He is very fond of baseball, Louis Aragon, Miles Davis, Kafka, Dante, and his wife, activist and documentarian Joan Juster. He lives in San Francisco, where he once made his marginal living pointing out pretty things. Now, he is seeking work once again.
