Mark H Fitzpatrick

Welcome

My art and poetry is born of a reverence for the power of ideas and a need to share a perspective, that we are not alone, we face the void together.

Part of every sale is donated to charities seeking to improve the lives of those in extreme poverty (i.e. Against Malaria) as well as organizations leading the way in mental health research and advocacy (i.e. Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention).

I am also a blockchain enthusiast eager to support those that are bringing the best parts of web3 into reality such as more equitable earning opportunities for creators and stronger connections between artists and their communities.

Thank you for stopping by.

Twilight Maps

do you hear me twist and swirl as you write stories about wolves and hunger you seem to think them new but no tale can be invented that hasn’t already been told by the sea…

Gothic geoglyphs. Streams of consequence. Shadow dreams.

A jagged string of poems for the half-light.

Ocean of Flowers

“let’s assume we choose, tell me, when death comes at long last, in that final instant, what will you be, the perfect mirror, or wild lover of life that leaves us behind?

Ocean of Flowers is an art-infused collection of pithy poems and contemporary koans.

They may provoke enlightenment, or fade away in time. Only the latter is guaranteed.

Made of Stars

“To what can you be compared, sparkling with love, the lives within, what could have come before but the light and heat of a cosmos born?”

Made of Stars is an epic poem in prose, a modern ode to the traditions of Homer and Dante, Spenser and Milton.

At its core is an ancient tale of love and loss, dark nights and redemption. It is also an attempt to evolveto dance on furthest edge of all we might experience.
