Mark StacksKodak IndifferenceGod, you are beautiful in your Kodak indifference as you mount your skis in defiance to the horizon's long arm, silver-blue outlined waves. You take the plunge to invest in fishes. We feared you drowned until you rose the third day, adorned in kelp and pearled shell, Leviathan as lover. As the image emerged from darkroom waters, I longed for iodine and the salt of oystered flesh. Mark Stacks was born and raised in Northern Virginia. He currently lives in Manassas, Virginia with his wife and two children. He attended Emory and Henry College, Emory, Virginia. He owns Stacksgraph Editorial Services and works closely with Windhaven Editorial Services of Auburn, New Hampshire to provide complete editorial and prepublication assistance to authors and some of the major publishing houses. He is founder and administrator of The Writer’s Workshop at the Web site http://www.stacksgraph.com and currently on the staff, as an editor and webmaster, at the online publication The Melic Review. He has been writing poetry for most of his life, but until recently has never submitted work for publication. You can see his latest work in the September issue of The Melic Review. Several other poems have been solicited for publication by Conspire and The Astrophysicist's Tango Partner Speaks. Home | Editor's Desk | Poetry | Prose | Guidelines | Email | Links |
