Autorenporträt
From Roman Catholic Sister of Mercy and English teacher in New Jersey to international management trainer; from author of business books to poetry collections; from work addict to devotee of the Spanish proverb, "It is beautiful to do nothing and rest afterwards," Carolyn Martin is blissfully retired--and resting--in Clackamas, Oregon. A lover of gardening and snorkeling, feral cats and backyard birds, Martin embraces poetry as her way of interacting with the world¬¬--in images, rhythms, sounds, and intensities of language. That is why she's settled into the joyful task of translating experience into as few words as possible.Her aesthetic is found in Galway Kinnell's statement, "To me, poetry is somebody standing up...and saying, with as little concealment as possible, what it is for him or her to be on earth at this moment." With little concealment, her poems grapple with this challenge. Martin's poems have appeared in more than 200 publications throughout North America, Australia, and the UK. The Poetry Box released her second collection, The Way a Woman Knows, in 2015; a chapbook, Nothing More to Lose, in 2020; and her fifth collection, The Catalog of Small Contentments, in 2021.
