About this poet!
Marcus Byron Cheney is a 26 year old vanguard-vagabond writer. Born in Brockton, Ma (on Sep-11-1982 ) he grew up in Hanson, Ma. on the same street, in the same house , in the same bedroom overlooking the same river for 18 years. He was removed from his house and moved from Providence, Ri to Detroit, Mi and a little bit of everywhere in-between. He slept on couches and floors and has made it as far as the south now.
Marcus is available for features, some of his most notable features was the one he did in Nantucket, hosted by Len Germinara and Sarah Oktay. After the poetry event, a women who spent most of her life on the island grabbed Marcus by his forearm and said “You remind me of a Baudelaire, don’t ever stop writing.” Marcus ran a poetry night at the Museum of Bad Art in Deadham, Massachusetts. The evening was called Live-Ham and it featured poets, acoustic musicians and lost soul searching spiritual travelers.

“Digging the site. Visually it’s stunning and so well done. So so well done. You’ve got this blatant way of telling a story- it’s hard to do that and have it still be haunting (not jarring) but there’s a real stream of heart underneath it all that blows me away. Aces.”
James Caroline (fellow poet - fire cracker. )
