Mark Weber about Mark Weber:
Mark Weber grew up in Cucamonga, California, where he threw rocks at freight trains and has the distinct memory of hearing Sam the Sham singing “Wholly Bully” off in the distance, a mile away, over the loudspeakers at Upland Memorial Park’s baseball field, on summer afternoons watching the orange-purple Martian sunsets so prevalent to his smog-encrusted homeland. His alma mater is San Berdoo County Jail where he matriculated in cold turkey. Adovada. He published his first poem when he was 15 and he’s 53 now, and still, he suspects that 90% of everything he’s ever wrote is junk. Meanwhile, he’s preparing himself psychically, mentally, spiritually, and physically, for The Immortal Poem to occur to him.
FOUR POEMS FROM NEW YORK CITY
there is another way
that time can be stopped
and that is in the instance before catastrophe…
you don’t actually believe
it’s happening…
these things happen on the spur of the moment…
(Death appears to be opportunistic)…

Mark Weber has the authenticity of a born-in, lived-in poetic soma. His poetry will cause you to perceive the sublime in the ordinary and put you in contact with the ordinary common humanity in the sublime. - Connie Crothers

Mark Weber | Time Zone Differential | Zerx 007
During the mid-90s whenever I visited back home to Southern California rather than hang with my old friends on some street corner we’d book studio time and hang out there instead, and make music. They’d make the music and I’d tell stories. This is sorta like Volume 2 of my CD on the 9Winds label called OBBLIGATOS FOR TERPSICHOREAN DIPSOMANIACS which translates : Musical Ditties for Dancing Drunks.

Mark Weber | Beautemous Everlasting | Zerx 004
After 20 years of writing narrative poetry I veered off into a style I call atmospheric/landscape poetry and this is the first examples of that. Too many musicians to mention all their names. Justine Flynn even wrote a complex chart for one of the numbers. ( Mostly everything else is purely freeform spontaneous glorious intuition.)

Mark Weber Photo: Eric Breitbart Now, Before you start thinking Zerx is nothing but Mark Weber + a CD Burner in his garage let me say that most of the CDs on Zerx come out in editions of 1,050 copies and are not, even then, strictly limited. Whenever Zerx uses the term “ limited edition” it’s not strictly limited in the same way as in the fine arts world where they make a certain number of prints and then break the mold. At Zerx it merely means we made about 100 copies of the CD and that more will... - todd moore
Todd Moore | Photo: Pete Jonsson Todd Moore is a poet in the shockism style. He says, “For your information gansta poetry in this country isn’t Bukowski’s invention, it’s mine. I’ve been making this kind of stuff since 1970 give or take. And, it has nothing to do with Bukowski’s style or subject matter. Bukowski was the pornagrapher of pussy and a damned good one at that. I’m the pornographer of violence.” a lot more on Tod Moore can be found here… Blind Whiskey & The Straight Razor Blues by Todd Moore | Iniquity Press/Vendetta Books | 5 EURO... - bayou seco
