MArk Kozub
Mark Kozub is one of the original founding fathers of the Raving Poets. He used to be called The Alberta Beatnik, but the Beatnik has been donated to Goodwill. Currently, Kozub is a freelance writer for numerous magazines, a workshop instructor, a bassist, saxophonist, a dabbler in painting, the husband of Jan (an infinitely better writer, really!), the co-owner of a black cat named Ginishky, and in March of 2006, he will be the proud father of a bouncing baby novel, The Brown Family, to be published by Dramatic Situations.
