Portrait of Mark McClelland
Photo credit: Zak Jacobson

Mark McClelland studied Computer Science and Creative Writing at the University of Michigan’s Residential College, where he won a Hopwood Award for poetry. He has been coding for money since 1992, and works on fiction and poetry as time allows. He writes in search of truths that defy simple, direct expression, and publishes to share his discoveries with others. He lives in Chicago with his wife, Nancy, and two cats.

Follow him on Mastodon (@markproxy@bigshoulders.city), where he mostly shares thoughts on climate change, science news, and politics.

Mark blogs about poetry, Android development, boat maintenance, and whatever else seems worth sharing at http://poetengineer.postach.io.
