About Me:
In the early 1990's my poems began appearing in such journals as Onionhead, Bellowing Ark, and Invert, but upon moving to Provincetown, Mass.,I decided to concentrate more on visual work.

It was in the year 2000, several years after returning to NY, that I started seeking publication again for both writing and art combined. Since, then, thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web, my work has appeared internationally both in cyberspace and hard copy. Often the writing has appeared along side the paintings, and at other times with the text superimposed. In 2004 I began experimenting even more with these poetry/art hybrids creating a series of e books, including the award winning "We Are More Than Our Wounds". From there I began experimenting with art and poems as films, at first creating slideshows with captions, and then doing soundtracks and voice overdubs. These DVDs are available through Indieflix.com In 2006 I put this technology to use releasing a CD of poems set to music "Safe & Other Love Poems" (CDBaby.com), as well as two print editions of image/art hybrids, "Selected Works" and "Tree Companions", a fractured fairy tale for adults (Lulu.com). I have also released a novel, “Hang Onto Your Teeth”, through Amazon.com. Currently I am working on a film series entitled "Swan Songs" which incorporates live footage superimposed over his paintings and digitized images while using my own singing voice for soundtracks.

An example of this is "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", which incorporates the International Laws Against Homosexuality.

Re call for submissions, yes, I could use the info, if you happen to run across it. Not urgent, tho -- I have nothing ready to submit. Tnx.

Hi, Stephen! Sorry I didn't respond sooner to your messages, but I haven't been on here for awhile. Glad you enjoyed listening to Mama Cass on my page--and "Deep Dish" is available on Amazon and elsewhere. Hope you're having a fabulous summer so far!

Marc

P.S. I loved visiting Provincetown years ago and hope to return there someday.

yeah - I hate bugging people (!!), but it turns out LOGO took a week off (and didn't tell us) - don't know if any of last week's votes will be counted - so here I am asking again this week...

Thank you for the good words, Stephen.

Stephen,
Thank you SO MUCH for those kind words - could you help me get a little exposure by voting for my music video 'Free' over at LOGO? Here's the link (you can check out the video there)

thank you!!

Thanks for looking Stephen. I'm glad you did! As you can tell, I'm an amateur, but I feel no one else is even trying to document these places, which I've known my whole life. They're such an integral part of the fabric of life down here that people simply take them for granted. I'm very inspired by the WPA/FSA documetary photographers anyway, so this is a natural progression. I'd love to see more of your work as well! Thanks again for looking! I do have a few more pictures (with descriptive text) at http://southgeorgiaphotographs.blogspot.com

Hi, Stephen,

Thanks for writing to me. Your work looks interesting--I'll come back and spend more time exploring. My husband and I are probably not visiting P-town this summer because we have other vacation plans, but we do visit often, so maybe you and I will get together one of these days. Bye for now, Steven
