“Mark is the kind of poetry teacher every student should have if they want to learn about finding words for their truest musings and shaping those words into poetic forms for writing and speaking. Mark has been a regular member and frequent facilitator of the DC area community poetry gathering for the past 5 years. As an accomplished poet and student of poetic literature and craft, he is generous with his time and skills, providing poetry writing experiences for eager participants in various venues around the Washington area”.

“Mark played his guitar for 45 minutes as our guests gathered for our wedding ceremony, and he played all the specific pieces we requested with style and class. He created a customized arrangement for our wedding party’s walk down the aisle, and of course the bride’s favorite song for her moment. He made our ceremony sophisticated and relaxed.  His style of collage fit the mood we wanted to convey perfectly! He was a delight to work with and a perfectionist at his craft.

Thanks, Mark, for adding to the magic.”
