Mark Strohschein- Cries Across Borders

Cries Across Borders, a telling chapbook about the vagaries of the immigration system, poignantly and deftly addresses how difficult and trying unification with a loved one can be. In intelligent poems of longing, perplexity and discovery, the poet deconstructs the metaphor of exile and asks why borders still separate us.

Pushcart Prize-nominated poet and educator Mark Strohschein resides on Whidbey Island. His poems have appeared in Cirque Journal, Flint Hills Review, Bryant Literary Review, Broad River Review, The Milk House and other journals and anthologies. His new chapbook, Cries Across Borders, was a semifinalist for Button Poetry's 2023 chapbook contest.
