A Bend in the Road was launched by Mark Horner in December 2005 as “a place of literary contemplation” and archive for his poetry.

We turned twenty last year, which we celebrated by creating new posts, revising our pages, and refreshing several poems. Our newest posts include:

➢ Mark’s latest take on Biltmore Estate

➢ Commemorating the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby

➢ Remembering the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

If poetry is what you’re after, among our best compositions are “Penge,” “Wounds,”
and “East Egg.”
