Great Regulars: T.C. Marshall teaches writing at Cabrillo College by

encouraging inventive use of forms. He has written a wide variety of things from "Jumbles" to a detective novel. In the '70s and '80s, he initiated three poetic movements (Horriblisme, Horripilisme and Phalanxologie) that got some attention at one MLA convention. Since then, Marshall has used and taught approaches based on the Latin American vanguardismo that Neruda practiced, the posthumous humanismo of Vallejo, and Cardenál's exteriorismo. His poems and literary criticism can be found in magazines from North America and Europe. The following poems are all elegiac.
