Gigi Marks' poetry has focused on developing an ethics of scale that supports attention and care, informed by moving through the dense layers of place and relationship. This ethics of scale has unfolded from a practice within the sustained relationship with family in and around the countryside of New York state and across four books of poetry, including CLOSE BY and TERRITORY from Silverfish Review Press. Her poetry has appeared in many publications, including American Poets Against the War, Best American Poetry, Lilith, Northwest Review, Poetry, Poetry Daily, Prairie Schooner, and others. She lives with her four children and partner on a small farm in the Finger Lakes, in Gayogoho:no—the lands of the Cayuga people.
