Marc Beaudin's poetry has appeared in various journals including &lt;i&gt;Avocet, The MacGuffin, Temenos,&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Cardinal Sins&lt;/i&gt;, and has been published in three chapbooks: &lt;i&gt;The Lost Writings of Miscellaneous Jones&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;When God Was a Child&lt;/i&gt;, both published by Heal the Earth Press; and &lt;i&gt;Saginaw Songs&lt;/i&gt; (co-authored with fellow-poet Al Hellus), published by Ridgeway Press. His first full-length book of poetry, &lt;i&gt;The Moon Cracks Open: A Field Guide to the Birds&lt;/i&gt; has just been published and is available at AuthorsBookshop.com.
An autobiographical novel, &lt;i&gt;A Handful of Dust&lt;/i&gt;, appeared in 2002. He is the editor of the anti-war anthology &lt;i&gt;Jihad bil Qalam: To Strive by Means of the Pen&lt;/i&gt;, 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, &lt;i&gt;Frankenstein, Inc.&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Little Shop of Whores&lt;/i&gt; were staged by The 303 Collective in Saginaw, Michigan. Both productions, also directed by Beaudin, were named in &lt;i&gt;The Saginaw News&lt;/i&gt;' Top Ten Arts Events of the Year. Of his shorter works, &lt;i&gt;Got Any Change?&lt;/i&gt; was the second place winner of the Mid-Michigan 10-minute Play Writing Festival; and several others were produced at the Collective Artists' Gallery &amp; Exchange (CAGE), including &lt;i&gt;Nice Shoes&lt;/i&gt;, 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]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Light, sound, shape, movement, this moment, roads, pool tables, you.]]></influences>  <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Bay City</hometown>  <born_at>04/14/1968</born_at>
