Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Mark Saba has been writing for nearly thirty years in the genres of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. He has also produced and directed a poetry video. (See publications and writing.)
The best way to get a feel for his writing is to read some excerpts from his work. Though grounded in the realism of vivid detail and human relationships, Mark's writing often takes a turn into fabulism, magical realism, or any other condition of the imagination which infuses it.
Mark is employed by the Yale School of Medicine, where he creates medical illustrations and graphics for the scientific community. He lives with his wife and children in Connecticut.
