Poems From the Sprawl

Mark Charron is a new voice a writer from New England just starting out fresh and bright and this POEMS FROM THE SPRAWL is his debut work a collection of poems written from and about the suburbs. My intent with this was to marry Frost with Corso... And by honing such diverse styles across these pages Charron blends together a bold and at times personal portrait of the experience of growing up and coming of age as a late-20th-century all-American boy of the suburbs. Along with Poems from the Sprawl this anthology includes four other volumes of his earlier poetry spanning from adolescent punk-brat songs of love and protest to stories of redemption and change from the carnal to the spiritual and other backstreets. Through it all is wove a young man's tale one both of looking back to where one comes and out to where it's all going in the end. This book contains five volumes: 1) Poems from the Sprawl 2) Porter Daryl's Poems 3) Farewell Frat Row 4) The Choirboy 5) Morning Story.
