51 Poems

Not much is known about Marcus Bales except that he lives and works in Cleveland, Ohio, and that his work has not appeared in Poetry Magazine or the New Yorker.

A master of meter and rhyme, with a rare ability to render formal poetry at once intriguing and accessible for the contemporary reader, Marcus Bales has been producing masterful work at a brisk pace and giving it away via social media. This is his first book. One hopes for more.
