Nothing More to Lose

Buch

Nothing More to Lose is an intense, hair-raising, and hopeful account of one family's resilience and faith. With poems based on Therese Kolbert Dieringer's autobiography (My Life - Lived and Remembered: A journey across Hungary, Germany, and America), Carolyn Martin tracks the Kolbert family as they escape from Hungary in 1944, endure seven years of starvation and sickness in Germany, and arrive to a new life in America in 1952.

Über den Autor


From associate professor of English to management trainer to retiree, Carolyn Martin is a lover of gardening and snorkeling, feral cats and backyard birds, writing and photography. After years of producing academic papers and business books, she discovered that poetry is the way her heart and mind interact with the world -in images, rhythms, sounds, and intensities of language. So she has settled into the joyful challenge of translating experience into as few words as possible. Martin's aesthetic is embodied in Jack Kerouac's comment in Dharma Bums: One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple, and in Sting's statement, All my life I have tried to find the truth and make it beautiful. Her poems attempt to use simple words to embrace truths wherever she finds them, and to turn them into something approximating the beautiful.Her poems have appeared in journals throughout North America, Australia, and the UK, and her fifth poetry collection, The Catalog of Small Contentments, will be released by The Poetry Box® in 2021. She is the book review editor for the Oregon Poetry Association and the poetry editor of Kosmos Quarterly: journal for global transformation.
