MARK
MANDELL first copyrighted Diary of the Twentieth-Century
Elizabethan Poet with the Library of Congress
in 1999, then, with a couple of exceptions, more
or less stuck it on a shelf to collect dust. He
wrote everything from short, existentialist vignettes,
several of which had been published, to
haiku and senryu. Mark had recently completed his
second novel, A Piece of Work, an occasionally
humorous yet disturbing peek into the life of a
deluded sociopath, and was in the beginning stages
of seeking publication for his latest work.
Mark had been
raised in and usually wrote about South Florida.
He passed away on March 15, 2010, just a month short
of his 41st birthday.
Diary
is Mark’s first book-length published work.
