Martha Cinader – Anthologies, Magazines & Journals

Across Latitude & Language: World Poetry Anthology 2025, Pages: 530 Published by Delhi Poetry Slam, 2025 Across Latitude & Language brings together voices from across the globe—poets of different races, homelands, and histories, woven together by something quietly powerful: the shared weight of being human. In a world increasingly fractured by borders and conflict, this collection reminds us of the quiet universality of feeling. From the ache of personal loss and unspoken guilt to reflections on vanishing cityscapes and shifting faith, this anthology captures the full spectrum of human experience. Within its pages are poems that grieve, question, remember, and observe—the everyday and the extraordinary. – contributed several note poems

“Dick for a Day”
Paperback: 304 pages, Publisher: Villard; Second Printing edition (February 25, 1997), Language: English ISBN-10: 0679773533, ISBN-13: 978-0679773535
contributed a poem/story entitled “1-800-YOR-DICK” under the pen name Senator Sin to an anthology edited by Fiona Giles and published by Villard Books in the US, UK and Australia, and in translation in Germany and Japan, 1997.

In a hilarious poem, Senator Sin imagines that by calling the number “1-800-YOR-DICK” she participates in a study in which women are given penises and then report the results (with the poignant coda, “A few/ never returned/ their dicks,/ moved away/ from family/ and friends,/ and are assumed/ to be passing/ as men.”).
