Awkward Grace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950462544)

Mark Tulin is a surgeon of great majesty in a heartfelt verse. Like a well-trained physician, Mark Tulin brings extraordinary linguistic skills to bear on the injuries of neglect and abandonment. The author offers a compassionate operation through his poetry. Awkward Grace isa must read as a medication for moral sickness.-Tim Truzy, author of Plastic Bags and Medical MelodiesMark Tulin's chapbook of poems, Awkward Grace, is a fascinating read, specifically incorporating his theme, about people living on the marginal side of life. The collection of poems is both enthralling and enchanting, delving into both despair and hope, of those people in our society who are less fortunate. Readers will be emotionally touched with every one of the twenty-seven heart-felt pieces in the book.-Ivor Steven, Geelong Writers Inc., Australia A moving collection of downtrodden tales speckled with moments of virtue, humor, beauty, and calm. Tulin writes not just of deprivation but of the acceptance of it-a learned helplessness, a passivity, that fills the heart with that strange, sad beauty, with that awkward grace, that Edward Hopper once put to canvas. This is poetry with a mission, and it succeeds. -Brian Geiger, Editor of Vita Brevis Poetry Magazine
