Martha Carlson-Bradley
Poetry, Teaching, Publications
The book
omits the listings
the title makes you wish for:
Latin names for the shapes
of icicles and drifts,
ornate varieties of smut
on the long, hard banks
heaved up by the plow.
(from "Winter
Botany," in Season We
Can't Resist; first
published in New
England Review)
"This is poetry of great compression and resonance; it is what poetry should be."~Joan Aleshire
Martha Carlson-Bradley is the author of three collections of poetry: Season We Can't Resist (June 2007, WordTech Editions), Beast at the Hearth (Adastra, 2005), and Nest Full of Cries (Adastra, 2000).
"The eye is clear and discerning, the ear never off-pitch, and the lyric sensibility delivers moments bursting with acute knowledge."~Ellen Dudley
