Joanna Martin channels her best lines of poetry between the wee hours of 3 and 5 a.m. when she is in deep sleep and spends her waking hours trying to remember them. She is thankful to the diverse community of Santa Cruz poets for continuing to inspire her since she moved to Santa Cruz 27 years ago. Joanna is a wife, mother, nurse, videographer and swimmer, but of all the spheres she regularly travels in, she finds poetry to be the one that fills her soul with light. This is her second book of poetry from Hummingbird Press. Her first book, The Meaning of Wings, was published in 2003.
