More Mixed Messages is courageous, unflinching, authentic, informed and indefatigable. Mark doesn't look away, or speak in whispers. The work sits well in the rich vein of protest poetry; confronting the reader and society with visceral truths wrapped in humour and righteous anger. Mark compels the reader to the centre of the most heightened moments, to inhabit the hard questions about themselves, about life, about society; to hear the words as they read, to feel them as they're heard. Asserting the questions: Am I in or out of the system? What am I made of? Do I contribute to this? If not me, then who? Looking back to look forward, Mark evidences that change has happened and so change is possible. This collection invites you to discover more of a poet for the times.
