CrowVoice Journal: Thoughts, Discussions and Updates on the Writings and Publications of Marc Beaudin

Marc Beaudin's poetry has appeared in various journals including Avocet, The MacGuffin, Temenos, and Cardinal Sins, and has been published in three chapbooks: The Lost Writings of Miscellaneous Jones and When God Was a Child, both published by Heal the Earth Press; and Saginaw Songs (co-authored with fellow-poet Al Hellus), published by Ridgeway Press. His first full-length book of poetry, The Moon Cracks Open: A Field Guide to the Birds has just been published and is available at AuthorsBookshop.com.
An autobiographical novel, A Handful of Dust, appeared in 2002. He is the editor of the anti-war anthology Jihad bil Qalam: To Strive by Means of the Pen, which was prepared for the activist group Tri-City Action for Peace (TCAP).
As a playwright, Beaudin has seen several of his scripts produced on stage. Two full-length works, Frankenstein, Inc., and Little Shop of Whores were staged by The 303 Collective in Saginaw, Michigan. Both productions, also directed by Beaudin, were named in The Saginaw News' Top Ten Arts Events of the Year. Of his shorter works, Got Any Change? was the second place winner of the Mid-Michigan 10-minute Play Writing Festival; and several others were produced at the Collective Artists' Gallery & Exchange (CAGE), including Nice Shoes, which was also staged at Bedlam Studios in Minneapolis.
Beaudin has appeared as a featured poet at numerous venues throughout Michigan and at locations in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Albuquerque. His poetry and short fiction has been featured, along with interviews, on various radio shows on both Delta College’s WUCX and the University of Michigan's WCBN.
Born in Bay City, Michigan, Beaudin now works out of two writing studios: the third table from the door at Ewald's Bar in Old Town Saginaw, and a one-room cabin in the Absaroka Mountains south of Livingston, Montana. [close]
