Mark Folse

    Mark Folse žije a píše, často o New Orleans. Jeho poézia a próza sa často zameriavajú na New Orleans, kde žije a tvorí. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje obdivom k interpunkcii ako hudobnej notácii, náklonnosťou k ampersandu a využívaním Faulknerovských „vodopádových“ viet na zachytenie kaskádovitých myšlienok. Folseho próza, inšpirovaná jeho blogom o hurikáne Katrina, bola citovaná ako jedna z inšpirácií pre seriál HBO Treme. Jeho písanie často skúma témy New Orleans, literatúry a príčetnosti s jedinečným, pútavým hlasom.

      The collection of short essays in Carry Me Home begins as a lament for what in September 2005 looked to be the lost city of New Orleans. Over the following two-and-one-half years, these brief essays become a lyrical celebration of the city and the people, and a journal of a 20-year expatriate's decision to move home after the flood. Mark Folse is a former journalist who, after a twenty-year remove first to Washington, D.C. and later to the upper Midwest, returned with his family to the city of his birth. He currently resides in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans with his wife Rebecca, and their two children Killian and Matthew.
