Country Boy

Country Boy captures the breadth and depth of life in the political world of Washington, DC, with his soul mate, Molly; a father helping to raise a young son; observing human nature at home and at work through the eyes of a simple country boy who found, in joy and sorrow, that he had a gift for writing. His poems express the joys, concerns, hopes and dreams of life as it is lived day-to-day. His words are as powerful and relevant today as when they were written in 1977. As one of Mark's friends wrote about the poems in an earlier volume, "Each poem has a different feeling, a different energy, yet they come together to represent some very fine work." Another wrote, "These are beautiful, thoughtful poems. You have a gift." And, another, "The depth of spiritual awareness is awesome".
