Bookmarkquinn (Mark Quinn) – Poet, Author & Spoken Word Artist

Listen to one of my favourite poems, the original “Scrote in a Bubble Coat,” one of the first poems I wrote, which captures the playful essence of everyday life with its vibrant imagery and whimsical tone.

As you listen, you’ll find yourself drawn into the narrative, reflecting on your own experiences and the little joys we often overlook.
