POETS MARTIN AND WARREN IN CONVERSATION

Please join us as Rodger Martin & Linda Warren discuss and read Martin’s poetry!

Rodger Martin is a poet, teacher, editor, journalist, director of Monadnock Pastoral Poets, and recipient of the 2024 Stanley Kunitz Medal.

"The Sleeping Dogs of Lubec" is a collection of poetry and short prose pieces built around the sometimes subtle and at other times quite public influence dogs generate as they integrate themselves into our culture.

"The Nemo Poems: A Martian Perspective"

"Poems from a young American soldier in Vietnam; Perspectives from time and place"

We like to think we have come vast intellectual and emotional distances from our ancestors, and yet, when the face of death confronts us, we feel--if not see--how little we have changed from those ancestors and how tiny a piece of the universe within which we actually exist. It is at that moment when poetry and story become the umbilical making survival worthy of the effort to survive.
