Empty Your Cup (by C. Martins)
Empty Your Cup is a unique poetry collection by C. Martins. I often find poetry difficult to comprehend, but this collection is so relevant to my experiences that I was immediately impressed by the poet’s insight. Each poem made me think about a personal experience, which speaks to the poet’s talent.
This collection of poems focuses on feelings, most notably anger, fear, compassion, and empathy. “Let It Be” emphasized a practice of mindfulness, while “Let Go of What You Know” encourages contemplation of acceptance. Many of these poems possess therapeutic qualities, evoking memories of my career as a therapist. Notably, “Mirror” reminded me of things I have said while facilitating group therapy sessions, while “Stereotype” speaks to how our experiences help shape our view of ourselves and the world. The poem “Refuge” stands out as my personal favorite.
C. Martins also has a lovely website to showcase her poetry with beautiful photography. You can visit her website here.
I am grateful for C. Martins contacting me to read and review Empty Your Cup. She provided me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.
