What critics say:

Marcus has published six books of poems, as well as a novel and pieces for the theater. He teaches Film and Literature at Cabrillo College in Aptos and is co-host of a weekly poetry show on KUSP radio. “Marcus is the kind of priest-poet who, like Peguy or Jacob, gets to the Light by tearing up the universe in ecstatic dance.” –Andrei Codrescu.

“These eloquent prose poems journey over a vast landscape of human experience, myth, folk tale, and family history. Larger than life, spinning through time and space with imaginative pyrotechnics and acute perception, the poems are entertaining, sobering, and above all, wise.” –Shirley Kaufman
