About the Book

Earl Martin has written a lifetime of poetry and artwork for the reader to browse. A retired widower, he takes you back to the "good old days," jokes about the present, and gives you smiles to remember in the future. Great for a quick read to cheer and entertain you. Martin has included intricate pen drawings with details like mazes, comic faces, doodles, and his own initials of HEM to find in some of the geometric figures. Dr. Edna Ellison says, "This great artist's work is unique, with whimsical twists and turns and sudden surprises that entertain the heart." She describes the meter of his poetry as "almost perfectly rhythmical, mesmerizing, and smoothly-formed, with echoes of alliteration and assonance . . . and fascinating turns of phrases that bring delight to all of us who observe his unique talent." Martin, born into a naval family, lived in Seattle Washington; Panama City, Panama; Norfolk, Virginia; and Beaufort, South Carolina; and retired in a small Southern town in upstate SC. The Laurens community has provided fertile ground for his creative work. Pick up this book, flop into an easy chair, prop up your feet, and enjoy a unique read.
