The Playground ISBN: 1329798848 OCLC: Lulu.com 2015 This collection of poems explores the little voices within us all. The irreverent humor we dare not speak. The big questions we are too afraid to ask. The answers we are not sure we want. This debut by poet Don Martin explores the idea that inside every adult is a child that has never quite grown up. |

while I wait to be a god again ISBN: 1070554537 OCLC: 1419545401 Independently Published 2020 In his second collection, Don Martin creates an evocative collection of poetry that toes the line between what it means to be human and what it means to be divine. It is an expression of bemused disillusionment after growing up to find that adulthood is filled with people that are as equally lost as you. Yet, somehow, finding humor in the pain and ennui of that discovery. This follow-up collection to Martin's debut, The Playground, is for those that enjoy the magical realism of Neil Gaiman's American Gods or poetic voices such as Hal Sirowitz, Beau Sia, or Mary Karr. |
