A collection of small poems, haiku and micropoetry that range between the domesticity of washing dishes and curry stains to the esoteric plumbing of the universe. As always, Martin's lines evoke the transcendent within their allusions, but nowhere is this illustrated more concisely than in these tiny poems that measure far beyond their meter. "These are poems to carry in your metaphorical pocket like small runic stones, with lines that you will want to contemplate again and again." -Corey Mesler, author of The Sky Needs More Work, The Catastrophe of My Personality, Before the Great Troubling and many other books. "David Martin is a voice of the spirit, his poems are Zen anecdotes. One is moved by his language, he captures the silence behind language, the secrets behind the profound, the mystery behind nature." -Tony Moffeit, author of Luminous Animal and Poetry is Dangerous: The Poet is an Outlaw and won the Jack Kerouac Award from Cherry Creek editions and the Thomas Hornsby Ferril Poetry Prize. "It takes a certain kind of craft to master the language. These three or four liners are stunning as lighting and strike a match across the imagination. David Martin has accomplished in a concise way what some poetry loses in lengthy stanzas. He attains a certain closure on a short string of words that is refreshing. In creating these wonderful little nuggets called micropoetry and poems akin to haiku, David imputes the wisdom of our daily experience and the mystery. of living life..." - Bruce Owens, author of Across the Light, Eddies in the Rush, Quiet Places and Mend the Broken Branch
