Books by Mark Young

This masterful poetry extinguishes those artificial lines that distinguish a moment from a century. It is all here and available to us, Mark Young shows. "A late/afternoon/point of co-/incidence // this bench/in the/Botanical Gardens/shared/with Desnos/& Diogenes" reminds us nature crafts consciousness right back at us. "Black cockatoos . . .small white flowers." This against the beautiful political purity of stating the truth in "damp trumpets."Quote from final poem, DAMP TRUMPETS: "Where are thesubmarines? Ishouted out. Youpromised you'ddrain the swampso I'd be ableto see the submarinesthat were lyingon the bottom."Things come together from a distance above, revealing equally how far they are apart. Mark Young's keen eye disturbs predictability. He knows from many angles refutation and commingling. Pachelbel's Canon and mismatched feelings between a man and a woman.Sheila E. Murphy

When Hannah Cohen spots a fabulous golden jewelled pendant, taken from her when she was a child in Nazi occupied Poland, now adorning the daughter in law of one of New York's foremost families, she wants it back, even if that means trawling through the courtrooms of Manhattan in two sensational trials - one civil, to reclaim the pendant, that will take her on an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness - the other, criminal; the murder trial of her own attorney. Two trials linked by murder. And two attorneys - Jonas Calver, facing the frame for a killing he had no part in, and rookie civil lawyer, Morganna Fedler, desperate to show the world what she can do in a courtroom. And then there's Courtney Pascal, the prickly and unpredictable investigator who Calver must reach out to from his jail cell on Rikers for a last chance at taking down the one-eyed man who put him there.
