Essays, travel memoir, and political commentary from a US writer living in Portugal.

Mark

Has spent his adult life heading outward—across borders, beyond the limits of his own assumptions. A US writer now based in Portugal, he has lived and worked on three continents, chronicling it in travel memoir, political commentary, and photography.
