The Story Behind the Verse
Hi, I’m c. martins. I’ve published two poetry books, Empty Your Cup and Hourglass, which explore themes of time, memory, and identity. My poetry is shaped by my experiences living in three countries. I have a background in psychology, and I’m drawn to meaningful moments in everyday life.
I also create illustrations based on my poetry and design T-shirts that pair my verses with either hand-drawn artwork or original travel photos. It’s a way of blending the art forms I love into something tangible.
In addition to my artistic pursuits, I work as an editor. I believe poetry, like good editing, is about refining ideas to their most impactful form.
Thanks for visiting my site. I hope something here resonates with you.
