What Creativity Means to Me

There is nothing better than to wake up to a new day and have something to write about; to have fresh, palpable ideas that I could put into a short story or a poem.  The process of creating is the ultimate satisfaction besides hearing someone say that my poem or story had resonated with them—made them laugh, cry, or think. It is surely a blessing to have the opportunity to write for the public. And to do it with a sense of truth and passion.

Mark Tulin is a published author, poet, and short-story writer from Philadelphia. He relocated to sunny California in 2012 and is married to an artist and designer, Alice.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
