Poems by Lynn Martin
Home Sweet Anywhere
"Nearly every page has some crack piece of travel wisdom ... an accessible, inspiring journey." —Kirkus The Sell-Your-House, See-the-World Life! Reunited after thirty-five years and wrestling a serious case of wanderlust, Lynne and Tim Martin decided to sell their house and possessions and live abroad full-time. They've never looked back. With just two suitcases, two computers, and each other, the Martins embark on a global adventure, taking readers from sky-high pyramids in Mexico to Turkish bazaars to learning the contact sport of Italian grocery shopping. But even as they embrace their new home-free lifestyle, the Martins grapple with its challenges, including hilarious language barriers, finding financial stability, and missing the family they left behind. Together, they learn how to live a life—and love—without borders. Recently featured on NPR's Here and Now and in the New York Times, Home Sweet Anywhere is a road map for anyone who dreams of turning the idea of life abroad into a reality.

Like the scorpions and Appalachian mountains very much alive in these poems, Martin's work announces a new magical understanding of the spirits present in our daily environments through an unrelenting generosity towards the simple and "known unknowns" of the universe. "SHIVER sings of a profound and precise recognition of dirt as prayer. Like a sped-up Niedecker, Martin s silence between threats is a lush, heartful yet spare open invitation to regard fish as seeds and cabins as husks for handmade dwelling. Her language plows through and strips debris littering the Blue Ridge Mountains of the ...
