Metrophobia: an irrational fear of poetry is here!
Afraid of poetry? Carolyn Martin is here to change your mind.
Metrophobia is a laugh-out-loud, deeply relatable collection from award-winning poet Carolyn Martin. Whether she’s blessing a feral cat, reporting live from the Sermon on the Mount, or riffing on AI and aging, Martin busts the myth that poetry is just for scholars or romantics with quills.
With her signature blend of wit, tenderness, and sharp observation, Martin invites readers into a world where daily life becomes funny, fierce, surprising, and sacred. These are poems for readers who say “I don’t get poetry,” for writers who crave fresh inspiration, and for anyone who finds meaning in the mess.
