Marc Jampole (born July 24, 1950) is an American poet, public relations executive, former television news reporter and political blogger.
Background and education
[edit]In the 1970s, Jampole taught French and German language and literature and filmmaking at the University of Washington. He also made several avant-garde films that were shown at a number of independent film festivals.[1]
Career
[edit]Jampole formed Jampole Communications, Inc. in 1989. As principal, Jampole wrote more than 1,800 articles and was a well-known speaker on media-relations and crisis communications. He was frequently quoted in the mass media as a public relations expert.[2][3][4][5] Jampole also developed communications plans for more than 100 crises and handled three of the largest Chapter 11 bankruptcies in American history - the bankruptcy of Allegheny International and two Penn Traffic Company bankruptcies.[6] At the end of 2016, Jampole sold the operations of Jampole Communications to Pittsburgh-based Wordwrite Communications, where he serves as executive vice president.”[7]
Jampole also writes for Jewish Currents and serves on its editorial board.[8]
Poetry
[edit]Jampole has published one book of poetry, Music From Words (Bellday Books 2007).[9] His poems have been published in many poetry journals and anthologies, including The Mississippi Review,[10] The Evansville Review, The Courtland Review,[11] Vallum, Cutthroat, Slant Magazine, Illumen, Oxford Magazine, Janus Head,[12] Only the Sea Keeps (2005 Bayeaux Arts Press),[13] Wilderness House Literary Review,[14][15] Ellipsis,[16] Journey (2009 Eden Waters Press),[17] and Acapella Zoo,[18] among others. Four of his poems were nominated for the Pushcart Prize in 2008.[9]
Slant: A Journal of Poetry references Marc Jampole as a poet whose work verges on the experimental or brash.[19]
Jampole's work is rarely autobiographical.[1] The narrators in his poems are sometimes famous people, biblical or historical figures and sometimes ordinary people at a point of epiphany or anagnorisis. In one poem, a real-estate agent who thinks he's Moses sees the burning bush in an upscale suburb. In others, Gilgamesh gets caught in a traffic jam, Blaise Pascal faces a crisis of faith and faith in reason, a former whiz kid disassociates into psychosis and Hugo Ball, one of the founders of the Dada movement, sells his wife to soldiers.[9] He also writes in reaction to world events, such as the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia.[20]
