Perhaps You Could Breathe for Me
The poems in Perhaps You Could Breathe For Me resemble almost too closely our own lives. On these pages are rare insights into relationships--the cruel, the complicated, the simple, the joyful, the sexy, the fearful, the painful, the intense. Newberry writes about what can go wrong, what does go wrong, about growing up, about the terrors and wonder of aging. She writes about sexuality, where it begins, and whether or not it ends. These poems are extraordinary as they journey through compassion, anger, strength, and universality. The cadences of ordinary speech make this work accessible, and, still, suggest that something rare and exciting is about to happen. Throughout and finally, Newberrys poems resonate with a search for spiritualityfor a God, she says we pray to, but do not know how to love.
Learning by Rote
Poetry. "Martina Newberry is a surprising poet. Just when you think you know what she knows, you don't. She knows more and has the words to prove it. I found myself falling for her sense of things, appreciating not only that she has earned it but that she displays it with a nicely sharp edge."—Eloise Klein Healy "One gets the sense from Martina Newberry's poems of a poet that gets distinctive delight in the surprises of sudden and enlightening insight and discovery through the practice of verse. These poems study with unflinching curiosity the peculiar ways and thoughts of modern human society. The end result are well crafted poems that have a disarming emotional honesty that is simply refreshing."—Kwame Dawes
Never Completely Awake
Poetry. NEVER COMPLETELY AWAKE is a book of 99 poems. One endorsment called it "nothing short of breathtaking." The substance and acquity of Martina's writing demystifies itself through refractive language. Poems playfully at times, at times seriously, remeasure characterizations focusing the reader's attention on the life of the poem and the poem's intent. This book's numbered sequence of poems has no page numbers so the table of contents is a numbered list, and the pages are not devoted to a poem per page but run-on. "These poems are driven by a passion both sexual and scriptural through configurations of surrender to instinctive logic and imaginative opportunities. Nothing is lost upon he...
Where It Goes
Martina's poems are about relationships, the cruel, complicated, simple, joyful, sexy, fearful, painful, intense. I write about expectations and our ability to fulfill them or fail to do the same . . . what can go wrong, what does go wrong, how much beatings hurt and how much kisses heal . . . about the terrors and wonder of childhood, the terrors and wonder of aging, about sexuality, gender and loneliness.

Hunger
Summary of HUNGER: Martina Newberry’s most recent book, HUNGER, is daring, complex, and, at the same time, accessible. Found here is dreaming, abstraction, grief, joy, sexuality,guilt, chagrin,anger,and humor. Newberry’s voice haunts us with her (and our) perplexity in living in a world that strives for goodness, but is slaked by miscommunication, lies and war. HUNGER speaks to us of personal and planetary appetites--how and if they are satisfied. This book is an achievement in skill, perception, and spirit.
Late Night Radio
If the press covered events-oil spills, crop circles, fashion-the way Martina Reisz Newberry makes poems of them we'd build bonfires all over America and zanily chant, Oh what crackpots we are And if we talked to each other the way she talks to us we'd speak with the wisdom of three hundred- year-old children. Late Night Radio is fun-and then you realize you've acquired a new lexicon of insights. -Djelloul Marbrook, author of Far From Algiers

The Vine Keeper
Preface Throughout my Creative Writing and Speaking journey, i have always had a special place in my psyche for messages. When it comes to Poetry, it, Messages along with Love are the predominant topics of my expressions. I have always felt that understanding things was essential to the lowering of my "Angst Index". This collection of work found in The Vine Keeper is such a work. My intent is that it will assist the reader in their own journey. It is not that i proclaim to provide the answers another may be seeking, but perhaps you will find the questions that help you recognize that you already possess all that you need within you. I too am a Seeker, and i have been since the formative years of my thinking and the acknowledgment of the structure of this world with it's Rite and Rote and various other Dogmas and Indoctrination that does not necessarily provide me any particular insight to the questions we all ask at one time or another.
