Morton Marcus, 1999 Santa Cruz County Artist of the Year,
winner of a Gail Rich Award, and long-time co-host of KUSP’s The Poetry Show, will give what may be his final poetry reading.
The reading will consist of his “golden oldies,“ a selection of the favorite poems he has written during his fifty years as a practicing poet.
Marcus is the author of ten volumes of poetry and one novel, including The Santa Cruz Mountain Poems, Pages From A Scrapbook of Immigrants,
Moments Without Names: New & Selected Prose Poems and Shouting Down The Silence: Verse Poems 1988-2001. In 2007,
he published a new volume of prose poems, Pursuing The Dream Bone, and last year (2008) his literary memoirs,
Striking Through The Masks, was published. He has had more than 450 poems published in literary journals,
his work has been selected to appear in over 90 anthologies, and he has read his poems and taught creative writing workshops
at universities throughout the nation and in Europe. Next year, The Star Wizard’s Legacy, his translations of
Serbian poet Vasko Popa, will be published. Advance copies will be available at the reading.
