About the Book

The Witch on Yellowhammer Hill provides an enchanting glimpse into the unexpected magick of the poet's retirement and aging. What a surprise to find age celebrated! What joy to live each day with the freedom to read bedtime stories to flowers, to splash in rain puddles or chase fireflies on her cane, not giving a fig what neighbors may think!

Within these pages, we meet the Cailleach, an ancient Celtic hag Goddess who transforms into a beautiful young woman. We dance to the tribal energy of womanpoem and listen to the wisdom of Crone's Counsel. This is a poet who converses with a shrew, a grasshopper, and all disillusioned Cinderellas.

Yet amidst the joy and celebration, Martin-Wood also deftly steps from the world of fantasy to address the brutal realities of child abuse, bullying, our endangered environment, and the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris.

This is the poet's most comprehensive collection to date. In addition to over 50 new poems, readers will find selections from her previously published works, including several of her sonnets, her environmental poems, her most requested poems from two decades of public readings, and an entire section of her beloved nature poems.


About the Author: Carla Martin-Wood has been a widely published poet since 1978. Recently retired from her career in the rat race world of advertising, she is relishing her newfound freedom. The author of seven full-length books of poetry prior to The Witch on Yellowhammer Hill, Carla's most recent collection was Eiswein (The Pink Petticoat Press, 2015). She has also authored eight chapbooks, most recently Season of Mists (The 99% Press, 2012). A copy of Carla's chapbook, Garden of Regret (Pudding House Publications Chapbook Series, 2009), resides in the Special Collections & University Archives at Stanford University. Carla's poems have appeared in a plethora of journals and numerous anthologies in the US, England, and Ireland since 1978. With a background of 13 years in theatre, she has performed her work from the hallowed University of The South at Sewanee to Greenwich Village. She has been nominated for The Pushcart Prize more than a dozen times, for Best of the Net twice, and is listed in Poets & Writers. Carla has been a lifelong political and social activist. Her current interests lie in human rights, preservation of the earth, universal healthcare and gun control.
