DAVID MARMOREK is an aquatic ecologist, telemark back-country skier, mountaineer and proud father of two wonderful sons. He learned to enjoy poetry (mostly doggerel) from his Dad and Uncle Walter, and has gradually evolved from writing for friends’ celebrations to more reflective observations of nature and our place in it, seen through the lens of natural science. He’s grateful to Dennis for his encouragement to write more poems. Read more about David’s work persona here:
