IN THE END THERE ARE NO CONCLUSIONS


poetry by Mark Holmgren

Mark's poetry, as well as his fiction and exposition, have appeared in many small press magazines like NeWest Review, Matrix, Poetry Now, The Dark Horse, Cedar Rock, Anglican Theological Review, The New Quarterly, Canadian Author & Bookman, among many others. CBC Radio's Brave New Waves and Alberta Anthology have also aired his work.

Dollarpoems published a small chapbook of his called Resolutions and Mark teamed up with writer, John Cserny, to publish Poems for Lucky Dogs. Mark is also a singer/songwriter, musician, and digital artist. He has performed at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and at the Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival, among others.

Mark has worked for years in the nonprofit sector and many of his poems and stories reflect the time he spent working on Edmonton's skid row as a community worker. For a preview of the book, click HERE.
