In her fifth collection, The Catalog of Small Contentments, Carolyn Martin celebrates the aesthetic she has embraced for decades. It is found in Sting's comment, "All my life I have tried to find the truth and make it beautiful." These delightfully accessible poems sparkle with beauty as they revel in truths inspired by a host of poets, artists, and philosophers from Billy Collins and Mary Oliver to Teilhard de Chardin and Claude Monet; from Virginia Wolf and Maggie Smith to Henry James and Joan Miró. They also draw beautiful truths from the natural world that surrounds the poet. Feral cats, squirrels, Steller's jays, slugs, moles, and maple trees appear throughout the collection. Even an errant fly and spider earn lessons on how to survive in an unfriendly world. Finally, Martin's obsession with unique words inundates these poems. Words like anatidaephobia, hypnopedia, superannuation, blamestorming, and funemployed offer readers the opportunity to enjoy the poet's wordplay while expanding their own vocabulary. Whether she's chatting with an antic ant or pondering Monet's myopia, Martin is committed to the small contentments that fill her days and inhabit these poems.
