review 1: Matthew is one of my favorite poets. The way his mind turns lyric blows me away every time. I sat and read these poems at once (which I recommend) and I know I will sit and read them again and again. I only wish he had more poetry...Matthew's work is contemporary, personal, brave, and always true. Truth is writing is vital. I believe he is a leader in a revolution of poetry. READ more poetry people. It is worthwhile, challenging, and connects us with the world and our senses. (Good poetry accomplishes this seemingly effortlessly...and that is what Matthew does every time he puts his pen to paper.)
review 2: Strange sort of coincidence that the day I buy and read a book of poetry by Portland author Matthew Dickman, he also happened to be speaking at the Katonah ... morelibrary. I wish I had known, as I would have attended his reading. Mayakovsky's Revolver is a terrific read - filled with stories of love and grief and a bit of humor. Notes Passed to My Brother is particularly haunting. It is a work I will revisit and I highly recommend it. less
