Author: Mark Tulin
Author, poet, short story writer from Santa Barbara, California. I write about a variety of topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia, to my years as a family therapist, and finally to my soul-searching present in California. These are narratives that may have a humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you.

It was a difficult and low-paying job but highly rewarding. She was one of my more memorable teachers as I was making my transition from therapist to writer.
