After 16 years in academia and 24 in the business world, Carolyn Martin has spent the last 15 playing with her first love: poetry. Although she’s become addicted to submissions and rejections, she is amazed that her work has appeared in more than 200 journals and anthologies throughout North America, Europe, and Australia.
