Praise for Codes of Public Sleep
Codes of Public Sleep breaks open the code of private thought to modes of knowing catastrophe that defy insufficient isolating sagas. Camille Martin's poetry is the shattering signal from a laudably wild tongue that will not keep still for our death-drive culture. This is a remarkable collection.
-Carla Harryman
[In Codes of Public Sleep,] Martin's enjoyment of language is clear - every noun, verb, adjective, and adverb is pushed to contain as much meaning as possible. . . . The words are rich in connotation and definition. . . . Ideas, represented by unique word combinations, resonate. Sound is also key (as it should be in poetry), and Martin pays attention to assonance, as in "Trace Reports." Martin provides visually or intellectually inventive and effective images, ideas and metaphors . . . Moments stand out and seem to perfectly capture a feeling.
