Splitting Open the World, borrows its title from Muriel Rukeyser's question, What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open. Recognizing that in this wobbly universe, truths strain, turn, twist/to revise themselves, Martin explores a world split open in poems about family and friends, about life as an English teacher and Roman Catholic nun, and about the inspiration lurking in the everyday.
