May the rhythmic rolling motion
of the ocean's ceaseless waves
bring you comfort in the chaos
of these strange, uncertain days.

Welcome to John Mark Green's Author Blog

 Welcome to my author blog, where you can find out more about my poetry, fiction, and upcoming books releases.

"Go Stand Small Beneath the Stars" is from my very first book of poetry, called Taste the Wild Wonder.

This collection of poems was published in 2018, and in 2020, it was selected as a Book of the Week by Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper.

If you enjoy poems that explore our place in the universe through the lens of awe, mixed with a bit of whimsy and a touch of melancholy, you'll want to check this book out.
