Day of the Speckled Trout - Tapa blanda

Day of the Speckled Trout is Mark Jodon’s first full length manuscript of poetry. The poems in this collection will remind you of places you’ve been and those you long to visit. They will take you to “where water turns to wine,” where “birds in the branches sing in the snow,” and where “there is a chorus of angels singing your name.” These poems witness how we walk together while taking different paths. Come, enjoy these poems and see how many times your paths crisscross with these poems.

Mark Jodon’s poetry is influenced by his Southwestern Pennsylvania roots and his life experiences in Texas. Mark has been a featured and juried poet many times in the Houston Poetry Fest, as well as a juried poet in the Austin International Poetry Festival and guest poet at various poetry reading series. His poems are widely published in poetry journals. He is also the author of a limited edition chapbook, What the Raven Wants (Provision Press). He lives in Houston with his wife who encouraged him to write poetry.
