Marina Martin November 2012

Marina Martin is surrounded by nature ~ she lives on a rural road in Haldimand County.  For over twenty years her writings and especially her poetry have reflected that world of flora and fauna.  That, combined with her profession as a physiotherapist working with people, Marina's work "inhabits the liminal space where the boundaries between ourselves and the natural world are permeable.*"

A new book of Marina's poems, BREATHING WATER, Meditations on the Plain and the Profound, is now available at The Neat Little Bookshop.  A wonderful little gift for someone special at Christmas time.

The Neat Little Bookshop is pleased to host an afternoon with Marina on Saturday, December 8 at 1:00 p.m.  Circle your calendar.

"A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking."

~ Jerry Seinfeld

"The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot."

~ Salvador Dali
