All it would take by Marc Swan Alan Felsenthal  Financial Times Summer ReadingAll it would take is Marc Swans immensely readable fifth collection, spanning a life in words, influenced by the sense of freedom espoused by Kerouac, Corso, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti and in the quiet, essential essence of Carver. Not read, but experienced, Marc Swans poems encourage us to see the world its dangers and beauty and to share our journeys with those we love. These poems do what it takes to illuminate a richly lived and well examined life.
