Welcome to Mark's Bookshop
Below you will find
descriptions of my poetry books self-published under the impression
Ink Bottle Press. These chapbooks were
done on my handy-dandy home computer and printed on my inkjet printer.
I have sold some of these books but mostly they go
to family and friends or have been traded with other poets for their
chapbooks. Since poetry is a net-loss financial proposition,
I have decided to
present these books for reading on my website rather have them languish
on my bookshelf waiting to be sold.
So, for your
reading pleasure, click 'Read this book'
or click on the picture of the book and the volume
will be presented for reading. Some books also have
audio and you can listen to me read the poem. Just
click on the audio icon associated with each poem.

Reading
in Cobourg
After
retiring in
2006, I moved to Cobourg and joined the Cobourg Poetry Workshop.
This is a vital group of about 20 local poets who workshop their poetry
on the 3rd tuesday and host readings at a local cafe on the 3rd thursday
of every month. These are the poems I read at a 2006 thursday evening
reading.
