Who I am.

I write about the landscape of grief, nature, and the wisdom of fools. The author of four books, my essays, poems, and reviews have been published in over 50 journals, including in the Huffington Post and Colorado Review. I’ve won the River Teeth Nonfiction Book Award, the Chautauqua and Literal Latte’s essay prizes, and my work has been nominated for four Pushcart Prizes and named a notable by Best American Essays. My account of hiking in Yosemite to deal with my wife’s death, Mountains of Light, was published by the University of Nebraska Press. http://www.markliebenow.com.

Broken Hallelujah

I'm delighted, and slightly snockered, to share the news that my essay on my mother’s work as an artist and her struggle with dementia, “Broken Hallelujah,” was published by the Chautauqua Literary Journal this month. It also won the journal’s Editor’s Prize and will be nominated for a Pushcart Prize later this year.

Unfortunately, the essay isn't available online. However, you can order a copy of the physical journal at the following link. Specify that you want the 2019 issue:

Thanks,
