These are links of my first book, "A Parody of Myself." I'm currently looking for reviews to "Writing Poems in the Rain." Send them here.

"There isn't much about this book that doesn't speak for itself. Though told in verse form, it is a story. A story of life, death, love, fear, wonder, and occasionally, just plain silliness. Through it, you start to get a picture of the writer: a deep, quiet, but quirky young man with an extraordinary talent. He takes you by the hand and invites you to step inside his world, one poem at a time, one word at a time, as he parodizes himself, and, through himself, every person who has ever looked at the moon and thought of someone they love."
Katherine, from Ohio

"This book is about life…feelings. An easy to read book but very deep. Every reader will come away with something different. I had the pleasure of meeting this young author last year at a convention held by Writing.com. After hearing some of his poems, I knew it wouldn’t be long until he was published, and here he is. Awesome reading, you won’t be disappointed."
Jane, from Pennsylvania

"The collection of poetry entitled "A Parody of Myself" is a photo album filled with snapshots of life through the heart and soul of the author. Emotions run the gamut from disillusionment and loneliness, to lighthearted fun and pleasure. The author's varied experiences are told using a colorful selection of words and verse. Any reader will identify with at least some of the short stories told. The author's skilled use of vocabulary helps the reader develop vivid images surrounding each experience, and creates a sense of adventure as you view brief moments of life through his eyes. A wonderful read that leaves you wanting more. Highly recommended."
Steve, from Maryland

"'A Parody of Myself' is a book of poems written by a young man who is very in touch with himself. His words are very touching and they have a depth that is very surprising of a person of his age. When reading this book you feel as if you are looking into the author's heart and his mind. He is very talented and inspiring. I have limited myself to reading only fiction and after reading this book, I now read many different types of books. It has been a refreshing change for me. I thank the author for helping me to broaden my horizons."
Dana, from Maryland

"An excellent collection of free-verse and varied-form poetry by an up and coming author. Beauty, truth, passion, love, desperation- it's all in this unique book. Read it and weep... or laugh, depending on your poetic tastes :)"
Adrienne, from Oregon

"I would recommend this book to anyone. It is not just a collection of poems but an emotional journey through the mind and life of the author, both touching and inspirational. "Wasted mind of a hopeless dreamer" is a particular favourite."
Andrea, from Loughton, Essex, England

"I paused between each poem to reflect on what I had read, and when I reached the last page I closed the book... and a smile slid across my face as I set it beside me, and two satisfied words escaped my lips: "Very cool." Though it may be the only book of poetry I will ever read, it will surely be the best. I simply cannot wait to see what Mark Bradley writes next."
James, from Pennsylvania

"Imagine being able to pick up a book and begin to read the different poems inside. Imagine being able to be reminded of every feeling or thought you have ever had. Imagination has become reality! "A Parody of Myself" is a book which merges your emotions, thoughts, and experiences into the writers own. Mark C. Bradley puts himself on stage and he calls you up to perform along with him. "
Michael, from Michigan

"Some poets capture only the fanciful image of life they've created for themselves, which is too sugar coated for me to appreciate. Others only describe life at its worst and I often grow bored very quickly. From the first poem to the last, I admired the rawness of real life in these pages and the honesty with which the author writes. Highlighting the joys, the pains, the zany moments and some odd habits, Mark C. Bradley is in touch with real life and knows how to write it, and write it well."
Cassandra, from Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada

"This book is full of poems that are poetic in expression yet narrated in a way that you could hear them spoken. They are sometimes descriptive in nature, other times realistic, and other times silly and amusing. Mark C. Bradley is able to capture the beauty of poetry, while keeping the raw qualities of emotions and feelings. This book is so versatile and well rounded that there is really something for everyone who has ever felt anything."
Mary, from Maryland

"'A Parody of Myself' is a wonderful book showing the grace of the ability to see ourselves from the inside out. Mark's words capture the many moods we all experience in our day to day lives. My favorite poem in the book is, 'Dear Mom'."
Jean, from Missouri

"'A collection with a poem that connects to everyone, old or young. Real life experiences are seen through the eyes of a multi-faceted young man with dreams, desires and the occasional goofy thought. Read it because I know you'll love it!"
Crystalee, from Pennsylvania

"This is a wonderful collection of poems. Heartwarming and evocative, this book appeals to a broad audience and offers both enjoyable treasures and some nice surprises. It is a very pleasant read."
Chuck, from New York
