Mark’s Bio:
Mark McGuire-Schwartz, new Poet Laureate of Guilford, believes that poetry has the potential to save the world. And that something has to. For decades, he has promoted poetry and the arts through his teaching, publishing the work of poets and artists, producing poetry readings and other poetry programs, and his arts advocacy. His own creative work includes fiction, drama, hybrid forms, and volumes of poetry. He is the inventor of a new poetry form, the Seventeen, as presented in his book, 289, a book of 17s. His other books include Loss and Laughs, Love and Fauna; and Attic Chest. His poetry has also been published in numerous literary journals and on the bottoms of rocks. Mark has a B.A. degree in Creative Writing from Goddard College, an M.Ed. degree from the University of Maine, and an M.F.A. degree from Southern Connecticut State University.
