Synopsis

A debut chapbook collection of poems and prose poems by California poet and yoga/fitness therapist Marcus Elman, with three artworks by French artist Michel Costiou (founder of "Art in Movement").

"...Marcus Elman turns a spotlight on the human condition in all its messy glory. These poems are gems, faceted, brilliant. They catch the light, and dance." -Alexis Rhone Fancher, author of Triggered and Brazen

"One might expect a dancer/yoga instructor who has traveled the world in order to understand other cultures and points of view, to be interested in what gives our lives meaning and how to confront the pain and terrors that we encounter-and Marcus Elman does not disappoint..." -John Brantingham, author of 21 books of poetry, memoir, and fiction, and founding editor of The Journal of Radical Wonder

"Totally relatable and universally beautiful." -Nancy Wilson, guitarist, singer, and songwriter

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Marcus Elman is a writer who lives with his wife in Venice, California. He wandered and worked overseas for a decade, comparing and learning about many cultures. He mostly has been employed as a dancer, teacher, and businessman and for many years has worked with the elder-sage population as a yoga/fitness therapist. Marcus is curious about energy, how things work and get repaired, the idea of redemption, and our human capacity to love-in toto: human potential. His poetry has been published most recently in MacQueen's Quinterly (2024). In January 2023, Cultural Daily featured his poems "The Prosciutto Ambulance" and "The Offering." His poem "The Crossing" was shortlisted for the Into The Void 2020 Poetry Prize. And his poem "The Boulevards of Los Angeles" received an honorable mention in Beyond Baroque's 2017 annual poetry prize, was published in Cultural Weekly (September 2018), and was reprinted in the textbook Method & Mystery: A Research-Based Guide to Teaching Poetry by Tresha Faye Haefner (The Poetry Salon, 2019).
