Many Suns Will Rise
Coming in 2022! Pre-order from The Main Street Rag Press
"The poems in Mark Jackley’s Many Suns Will Rise use compression as a virtue. The short poem’s power is on full display in this book. Like a piston in its cylinder, the poem compresses until it explodes. Sometimes the poem compresses image by image until it seeps into our eyes and grabs hold of us. The range of the imagination in these poems is their stronghold on the reader. This book deserves our attention."
Andrew Cox, editor of UCity Review and author of The Equation That Explains Everything, Fortune Cookies, and This False Compare.

Every Green Word
Order from Finishing Line Press
“Every Green Word is a collection of poems in few lines. Their power is in the observant and honest voice. These poems are like finding handwritten notes in a book of prayer.”
Tova Gardner, poetry editor, The Arava Review, author of Human Dust.
“There’s always a quiet, piercing elegance about Mark Jackley’s poetry, a honed clarity that gives us an intimate look at life’s fragility and wonder. Here again are enduring poems of love and sorrow and relationships, subtle reminders of what it’s like to be human.”
Barry Basden, editor, Camroc Press Review.
