Cori Martin is a Canadian poet, librettist, playwright, and formerly Lecturer in English at The Ohio State University. Often cross-disciplinary in nature, her poetry once took the form of a verse play, and regularly takes inspiration from the visual arts. Musical settings of her work have been premiered by New Music Now and the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty of Music, Waterloo (Babel: A Choral Symphony), the Grand Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, Kitchener (“Christmas Cattle”), Ex Cathedra in London and Birmingham, U.K. (“The Portinari Nativity”), among other performances, and recorded on the CD Winter Nights by the Pax Christi Chorale and Orchestra, Toronto.
