“Martin makes the clearest example for the new American poetry of fatherhood.”
—The Boston Review
“Martin’s poems traverse expansive concepts while confined to the space of an apartment, where new parents in ‘the shipwreck / of fatherhood, of motherhood’ are cloistered during a brutal winter.”
—The Star Tribune
“In this spare, poignant collection, Martin invites readers into the microcosm of new fatherhood against a wintry backdrop that produces isolation and intimacy in turn.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A book that closes in on domestic moments, moments of the physical body’s experiences, and these attentions manage to feel somehow profoundly political. For what is more political than the effort to create a space of love?”
—FIELD
“A pulsing joy of a book. It feels so full, its slim lines bursting at the edges, trying to get out.”
