Ian Macks, the author of A Loss and Gain of Comfort (Bottlecap Press 2014), is a 27-year-old poet based out of Troy, NY. Raised in the Bronx until the age of 10, Macks felt the actions and emotions of love, loss, racism, and hardship all while being non-verbal for half of that decade. This sensitive perspective on life is what fuels Ian’s poetry and that light shines brightly throughout his newest collection, Identity Crisis(recto y verso editions inc 2021).
