Over

Mark Gammill is a poet based in Visalia, California. He was deeply influenced by the confessional poets of the twentieth century. From the outset, his work began exploring the intimate terrains of love, longing, and loss with an unwavering commitment to the personal over the purely observational. By his early twenties, Mark had written dozens of poems centered on lost love—pieces that would later serve as the foundation for his debut collection, Recurring Dreams. Over time, his creative vision broadened, drawing inspiration from art, cinema, and, above all, lived experience. In recent years, he has begun pairing his poetry with his own visual artwork, creating a more immersive experience for his readers. Recurring Dreams brings together more than 20 years of writing, weaving past & present into a cohesive meditation on memory, reflection & emotional truth. It is, at its heart, an invitation to remember, to feel deeply & perhaps to discover a little of your own story within its pages.
