 The poet who was raised by friendly bears, Mark McGuire-Schwartz will read his experimental and non-experimental poems, with and without jokes, with and without an alarm clock ringing, with and without hawks, etc. It's sure to be full of surprises based on his Word of Mouth reading a few months ago.

Mark McGuire-Schwartz is a sometimes host of WNPS, Treasurer and Chairman of WNPS’s Steering Committee,” and also a Co-Director of Word of Mouth at the Institute Library in New Haven. He sometimes imagines that he was raised by bears (as previously noted), and he says it shows. In his 27 years as a state bureaucrat, Mark strove to raise the level of memos to an art form. Despite this his short play, Meeting Arthur Miller, was produced as part of the Short and NEAT program during the 2004 International Festival of Arts and Ideas, in New Haven. His work has appeared in The Whatever Journal, RogueScholars.com, The Fairfield Review, the Connecticut Law Journal, Bent Pin Quarterly, and on the bottom of rocks  .However, he has not yet won many prestigious and lucrative awards, including a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur Grant.
