Today the postal service brought me all those things that the post-men & -women have brought
me over the last twenty years. Some things brought me joy, some despair. Some made me
laugh. But all grist for the poet's ironic mill. One never knows what's going to turn up in Mark's mail. I've even turned up - all 6'7 of me - in the postbag. Every page holds a surprise. Mark delivers! -Tom Beckett In The Complete Post Person Poems, Mark Young delivers the can or rather, cans of worms/ I'd always/ wanted to open. Master builder/decorator of a room to put/ the elephant in, Young helps us achieve some measure of Gunk Control through an ironic, fiercely punny wit that is replete with cogent historical and current allusions and accounts of wild misprisions. His melodious thunks provide superb rejoinders to the polemic/ pandemic that assails the globe.

-Thomas Fink In The Complete Post Person Poems intellectual Tom-Foolery via the official postal system has at it at full speed! - Cathy M. Bennett All writers have a fraught relationship with the postal service. Mark Young's remedy is The Complete Post Person's Poems, a uniquely multifaceted otherworldly disco ball showering kaleidoscopic colors down onto poetry's dance floor. Shake that thang. -Pat Nolan The Complete Post Person Poems does nothing less than bring the world to you. How lucky we are to receive Mark Young's mail. -Brad Liening After reading this book, I will never think of aubergines in the same way again. Now I must realize: I don't even know what an aubergine is. And the author makes me feel funny about my subscription to the Conspiracy Theory Quarterly. I think he did this on purpose. He is dangerous and no one should read this book. -Mark Cunningham Mark Young picks a thread in a ball of golden wool and gives it a pull and it never ends. Magic everywhere. -John Geraets Chance and its output, notably infinite shades of humor, when examined and relished, teach even beyond experience, offering as a bonus a room to put the elephant in. -Sheila E. Murphy Mark Young has given the meaning of a postman's meaning in meaning a delivery god. Send and ye shall receive.
