Martens is a master of the traditional Japanese\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eart form known as the haiku, which is short and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompact. He also writes longer poems, which give him\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe opportunity to explore big topics like time and space, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emystery and what he calls \"Vision Wind.\" Both haiku\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand longer poems are collected in a new book titled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Raven Gate, published by McCaa Books, a major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorth Bay publisher of poetry.

They reveal the wonders one can work with a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eform as short and compact a haiku, and they take readers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einto the immense mysteries of the human heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe illustrations by artist Michael Hofmann-who is a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emaster of Japanese brush painting-stand on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey also enhance Martens' haiku.
