This was,,, fine? I liked reading it, but I returned it feeling largely unchanged and don’t remember anything too striking.

My copy of ‘Discipline’ has been well-loved for the last 10 years, battered and dog-eared from the attention I’ve paid it. I’m not usually a dog-ear my books kind of reader, but poetry deserves to be lived and worn in, meant to be felt out loud, not just read. I found this copy at Berl’s Brooklyn Poetry Shop with no prior knowledge of Martin’s work, and instantly clung to both the book and poet.
Martin’s poetry has the ability to make you feel each word deeply, even those outside of your own experiences. The body, the search for self, and the “I” are central themes in this collection. Martin's poems often confront the ways in which power structures, such as race, gender, and sexuality, shape and constrain individual identities.
I LOVE all Dawn Lundy Martin collections. When it came time to reach out to writers for a zine I was helping to curate, I reached out to Dawn and fan-girled hard over getting a response back.
Please pick up your own copy and love it as much as I have!
