There is magnificence in these poems, a poetic magnetic, propelling you to turn the page.

”Intellectually fearsome and restlessly exploratory . . . rigorous and uncompromising . . . torqued high."
—Marianne Villanueva for Galatea Resurrects
There’s none of the lyrical self-absorption one finds in too many collections. . . Martin has a very good ear, as in a fun, almost Hopkinsesque piece that flirts with nonsense, but stays syntactically coherent.

There are so few who seem to know how to bring something new to an often-used form that when it happens, it’s worth noting, and such is the case with Camille Martin in Sonnets. Martin writes with the most wonderful sense of clarity, thought and play in these poems.

Sonnets is a delightful body of work. Even though we wander into the oblique there is never alienation. Incredible poetic craft.
—James Mc Laughlin, Stride Magazine
Camille Martin’s poems shimmer with repetition deft as sweetest breath mid-spring.
—Sheila E. Murphy
Can you pour new wine into old bottles? Well, if you are Camille Martin and the bottles are sonnets, the answer is an emphatic, "Yes."
