Poems for people who thought they didn’t like poetry, Matt’s work can be enjoyed by people of all ages, backgrounds and body-types. He writes tenderly of love lost and mislaid, touches gently on haemorrhoids, and deals admirably briefly with the meaning of time. His poems ask questions – If love can build a bridge, can affection put up a shelf? The Hole in The Sum of My Parts celebrates the trials and triumphs of hope over experience. Playful, perceptive, affectionate and above all, funny.
