Awarded substantial Arts Council England Grant for the arts,
to develop ‘sound-enhanced poetry’, 2013.

Poetry included in 'The Ground Aslant – An Anthology of Radical Landscape Poetry', edited by Harriet Tarlo (Shearsman Books, 2011). Since this publication poetry studied in various universities.

‘Scrupulous response to landscape, adventurous ways of using the white space of the page, observational energy and tactility in the language combine to create an authentic sense of place, vital and transformative.’

- Penelope Shuttle

‘Mark Goodwin’s words operate at levels beyond the ordinary – being able to fragment and reconvene in startlingly fresh aggregations. It’s hard not to liken them to the rocks and pebbles he’s at home with in his climbing and walking – or to picture the craftsman busy at his bench sorting, cutting, and polishing. Readers are required to bring similar levels of attention to bear – which effort will be amply rewarded. To be alert to the opportunities his words offer is to become a traveller in expectation and uncommon delight.’

- Peter Dent

‘Goodwin’s startling poems record how certain landscapes leave you “weathered”, “shed”, “meshed”, “flicked open”.'

- Robert Macfarlane, whilst reviewing 'The Ground Aslant'.
