Bio
Mark Shackleton is a writer of poetry, prose and fiction.
He has self-published a collection of poetry, performed spoken word, had poetry published in a collection with other writers, written for theatre, been interviewed on radio, and is currently working on a new book.
Mark is originally from London, England, spent part of his life in Australia, has travelled to various countries and currently resides in Edinburgh, Scotland.
In addition to writing Mark loves reading and listening to books, watching podcasts, documentaries and movies, listening to music, and going to the gym. Meditation is central to his life.
After losing his creativity while battling alcoholism it came back a few years into recovery. Once again he heard the words and lines in his mind, sometimes in rhyme sometimes not. And wrote what he heard.
Mark is inspired by life, by nature and by civilization, by creativity and art, by chaos and order in nature and in human beings, and by his own growth and experiences.
The use of words in one of Humanity's greatest gifts, and Mark considers it an absolute privilege to be able to create with words and to be able to share his work.
