In these poems I hear Charles Bukowski, Adrian Louis and see Dagwood in a cheap Elvis suit leaning into a curve. These poems aren’t easy. They’re wired by a couple hundred horsepower and loud rock. They’re fast and hard. Watch out.

Nearing Narcoma is hell-bent breathless more damned emjambing fun than a merry-go-round of monks stoked on love & death juice—hyped up on "Shempish" TV rural real and surreal sexual exhaust and exhaustion so thick you could backfloat on it.

Roger Weingarten

Matt Morris is just the kind of balls-to-the-wall, full-speed-ahead language junkie that I want, I need, I demand to show me around the amped out, anything goes world in which we do our best to live.
