Award-winning poet Carolyn Martin debuts her latest collection, Metrophobia: An irrational fear of poetry.
With wit, tenderness, and sharp observation, she busts the myth that poetry is only for scholars, inviting readers into a world where daily life becomes funny, fierce, surprising, and sacred.
In this launch reading, Martin shares favorites like “Metrophobia,” “Chores,” “Q&A,” “To My Soon-to-Be Favorite Advice Columnist,” and “What the Buddha Said While Reading My Poems.” Published by Lingua Ink Books, Metrophobia is perfect for poetry lovers and poetry skeptics alike.
