Description

Michael Martin's Meditations in Times of Wonder is a collection of what might be called "postmodern metaphysical poetry." It inhabits a space characterized by love and anger, by pathos and laughter, by perplexity and grace.

"Michael Martin's poetry, like that of St. John of the Cross, is animated by a true mysticism which penetrates the mist of mystery and heals the schism that rends faith from reason." -- Joseph Pearce

"Meditations in Times of Wonder hums the harmonies between the mundane and transcendent, between the natural and the divine, between time-bound and timeless truths. The effect of many of the poems is that of a Pre-Raphaelite painting -- rich, allusive, nourishing, and evocative." -- Karen Swallow Prior
