In this episode of the Reformed Journal Podcast, the poetry edition, Rose Postma interviews Mark Hiskes about his poem “It’s About Us.” Hiskes is a retired high school English teacher from Holland, Michigan, who devotes his time to a number of things: three delightful grandchildren, Sylvie, Paige, and Lucy; his beloved wife, Cindy, with whom he rebuilds and refurbishes old furniture for sale in her antique booth; reading ever more great books, old, and new; leading and participating in various book clubs; and doing his best to write things that might, God willing, tell some manner of truth. A collection of his poems, Standing with Alyosha, was published in 2019 by Dos Madres Press.
