The couplet that leads into Charles Martin's fifth collection of richly inventive poems suggests that the world is to be read into and wondered over. The signs in this new work from the prize-winning American poet of formal brilliance and darkly comic sensibility are as stark as the one on a cage at the zoo that says ENDANGERED SPECIES, as surprising as those that announce the return of irony, and as enigmatic as a single word carved on a tombstone.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/books/signs-wonders-johns-hopkins-poetry-and-fiction?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/books/signs-wonders-johns-hopkins-poetry-and-fiction?#comments Books charles martin poem poetry poetry translation translation v17 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:35:04 +0000 Alex Pepple 1185 at https://www.ablemuse.com Charles Martin https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/bio/charles-martin? <p>Charles Martin&rsquo;s most recent book of poems is <em>Signs &amp; Wonders</em>, published in 2011 by Johns Hopkins University Press.
