Praise for Poiema

“Each of these poems makes you want to descend to its heart and discover the precious metal there. D.S. Martin knows how to evoke the mystery that lies beneath the relationships we have with ourselves, each other, and God. This is skilful and probing poetry." 

 — Luci Shaw; author of What The Light Was Like

"D.S. Martin is emerging as a 'poet's poet'  —  this is a fine collection, with one poem after another deeply satisfying in its crafting and in its vision."

 — Maxine Hancock, author and professor, Regent College, Vancouver

 Poiema won in its category at the Canadian Christian Writing Awards (June 2009)
