Jack Marshall draws linkages between past, present, and future to advocate for appreciating what we have, and being better stewards of it.From “Birth took the bait”:Beaks of birds who earthward breaktheir songs, in drought soarto clouds for a drink,a sip of what earth doesn't offeranymore, and summer vanishes,like a stain that was once a shore.Born in Brooklyn to Jewish parents who emigrated from Iraq and Syria, Marshall has received the PEN Center USA Award, two Northern California Book Awards, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a nomination from the National Book Critics Circle.
