The father of five and the keeper of four horses, Mark lives (with his wife Jodie) and writes along the Wingecarribee on Gundungurra Country (in Bowral).
His many books include The Little Red Writing Book, Bright Crockery Days, House of Thieves and Nine Carols. Chain of Ponds: New & Selected Poems is out this September.
