July 23 | WAN Pro Member Mark Lysgaard Releases New Book
Mark Lysgaard, through Poetic Polemic Publishers, releases his third book, BABBLING ON IN BABYLON in a Reading & Release party on Thursday, July 23rd, 7:00 p.m. at the Urban Grind Coffeehouse on NE Oregon.
“Many people are passionate about the issues, but few are willing to put that passion to work. Then there is Mark Lysgaard. Babbling On In Babylon is a collection of poetry that is enlightening, emotional, passionate, funny, serious, educational, and memorable. Not your traditional political book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!” ~ Jon Elliot This is America with Jon Elliot (Progressive Talk, San Diego)
