Looms “expansive”: mclennan
Many thanks to rob mclennan for his lovely review of Looms!

“There is such an expansiveness to Martin’s Looms. The poems exist in that magical place where words, images and ideas collide, creating connections that previously had never been.”

C. L. Bledsoe’s mindful review of Sonnets
There’s a terrific review of Sonnets (Shearsman Books, 2010) by C. L. Bledsoe at Murder Your Darlings. I say “terrific” not only because it’s a positive review (music to any poet’s ears) but also because the reviewer quotes from and discusses several poems in the book. It’s a mindful review, and it’s evident he didn’t just skim the book but read slowly and attentively.
Bledsoe’s general appraisal of Sonnets:
“Martin’s poems are complex and elegant. She reveals a vital, passionate intellect in these poems that move fast as river water after a spring thaw. I can’t wait to read her next collection.”

Sonnets “torqued high”

Check out this new and excellent review of Sonnets by Marianne Villanueva in Galatea Resurrects #16.
Villanueva’s take: Sonnets is “rigorous and uncompromising . . . intellectually fearsome . . . torqued high.”

Saline: Kimberly Lyons’ Fleeting Continuum

(Click here to order from SPD.)
Please check out my review of Kimberly Lyons’ Saline in the new issue of Galatea Resurrects:
Kimberly Lyons’ Fleeting Continuum
The problem (and pleasure) of reviewing a book of poetry by Kimberly Lyons is that a review needs to generalize to an extent, yet my temptation is to pause at the details in the language, to become wrapped up in close readings of the images that flow in a continually morphing reverie . . .

rob mclennan reviews Sonnets
There are so few that seem to know how to bring something new to an often-used form that when it happens, it’s worth noting, and such is the case with Toronto poet Camille Martin in her second trade poetry collection, Sonnets (Exeter, England: Shearsman Books, 2010). Martin, an American relocated north after Hurricane Katrina, writes with the most wonderful sense of clarity, thought and play in these poems, and with a flavour . . . (read more)

You can find ordering information for Sonnets here.
I was pleased to read an enthusiastic review of Sonnets recently in Stride Magazine. Here’s an excerpt:
“Sonnets is a delightful body of work. Even though we wander
into the oblique there is never alienation because the words
are too beautiful …. Incredible poetic craft.”
