Mark Matzeder is a Nomad, fading in and out of landscapes like a glitchy hologram or psilocybin dream. An officer's son, Mark spent his early life looking at the interiors of sundry post housing across the American South. From leprechaun height they all look much the same. At the dawn of Aquarius his family settled in the Old Dominion, whose soil, marsh, and forests scream with the blood of pioneers, revolutionaries, and rebels. Mark studied celluloid majik at Trinity U, then took to wandering again: dabbling in stage, screen, poetry, and prose. He earned his bread with a series of dead-end jobs he prefers to think of as Research for the Great American Novel or Indy film. The whirlwind touched down in Kansas City in 2002. Mark is a Linguistic Mystic seeking Truth in the space between words. He is a fledgling Bard-a lowly mage casting spells of Summoning & Binding with these glyphs.
