About the White Quartet series: Hobo Return is the last in a four book chapbook series conceived with late Igneus founder, Peter Kidd. The first in the White Quartet series, Hard Labor, came out in 2019, with Cosmic Sandbox released later that year. Sighting Icarus came out in 2020, with Martin dedicating this third in the quartet In Memoriam to Peter Kidd, a gesture of love and friendship for his fellow poet. The final book in this series, Hobo Return (2021), rounds out the vision of a poet in awe of being in the world.
