Mark O. Decker

As a young man, Mark was moved from his life’s experiences to put into words his feelings of joy, anger, loss, pain, happiness, and the paradoxes of life. Growing up in the simple life in the country, he has a unique connection with nature, the human spirit, family, and other sensitivities which his muse would require him to write poems about. Writing about life, spirituality, family, love, nature, death, work, birth, suicide and surviving cancer, Mark has recently turned 75 and is still enjoying life and growing, learning and engaging every day. To date he has produced sixteen collections of poetry.
