"She’s somewhere hidden in my mind. In my sleep, I search for her, not knowing what I hope to find. There’s a light, but it’s too dim for me to spot her face."
-from Dream About My Mother
Coffee and Cigarettes examines a number of subjects- loss, mental illness, family, loneliness, addiction, love, and desire. This collection of poems reads like a tell-all memoir. Mark holds nothing back- no subject is off-limits. Coffee and Cigarettes is raw, personal, and full of many different emotions.
"I welcome the voices that speak to me in my sleep. Through the sound of their speaking voices, I know I’m never truly alone."
-from Welcoming the Bugs that Crawl
