Born and bred in Pembrokeshire, Mark loves to write in various forms. His two novels, The Broken Places and Downfall Of A Fast Falling Man, are both available via Amazon. He was a winner of the Dylan Thomas Love The Words competition in 2018 with a poem based around hope.
Three of his previous dramas, A Face Behind The Glass (about artist Gwen John), For As Long As Forever Is (about Dylan Thomas) and A Devilish Affair (about the libel trial between Nina Hamnett and Aleister Crowley) have been performed at festivals and he has two new dramas being performed in 2025 focusing on Richard Burton. He is currently curating a Richard Burton Festival to take place in south Pembrokeshire in 2025.
He has recently completed a full-length prose poem, Erimos, that has recently been published and which has been described as “It is a work to be read and read again to really appreciate its sheer originality, its imaginative use and control of language from start to finish, and the impressive poetic and dramatic moments within the unfolding and thoroughly engaging moral-powered tale”.
His new book of poems is due to be published by The Seventh Quarry Press in early 2026.
He works freelance in the heritage and arts sector but writing remains his his first love.
