Extract (Download)

Subtle, lyrical and accomplished – Mark Fitzgerald’s poetry moves easily between the discursive and the lyrical, the formal and the concrete, but always with a consistent voice that knows exactly how to place the right word. A superb US poet making his UK debut in this fine collection.

Mark Fitzgerald studied at Franklin and Marshall, Oxford, and George Mason University. His poems have appeared in Crab Creek Review, Squaw Review, Beltway Poetry Quarterly, Parting Gifts and other literary journals. He lives in Falls Church, Virginia and teaches writing at the University of Maryland.
