Mark J. Mitchell

@mjmitchellwriter.bsky.social

Poet, novelist (historical). Very married for 44 years and counting. I live in San Francisco and have for 46 years. Serious interests in Basenall. Medieval literature and XXth century poetry. Make a living giving tours in San Francisco.

It's Octavio Paz' birthday. When I had my first publication in George Hitchcock's kayak I got to put the stamps on the copies for international subscribers. The thrill I got when I put the stamp on Paz' copy is still with me. He might have read my poem.
