When I compiled the poems to release my first book "Stories I Told Myself," I wasn't sure if the ones I was excluding were a good idea. I was even more worried that they wouldn't see the light of day. When I returned the next year with "M.E. & H.E.R. A Love Story," some of those poems found their way into the story I was telling through poetry.

When I compiled the poems to release my first book "Stories I Told Myself," I wasn't sure if the ones I was excluding were a good idea. I was even more worried that they wouldn't see the light of day. When I returned the next year with "M.E. & H.E.R. A Love Story," some of those poems found their way into the story I was telling through poetry. But still as before, many pieces that I liked or worked on after finalizing the list were left to the side. In the time afterwards, the poems that just found their way to my pen also seemed destined to never be seen. And indeed they almost stayed that way. When this collection was first ready to be released a flooding of my home left the data needed to finish lost on some non working media. But in the time since, it has been recovered. So I am able to now present to you "Lost In My Whirlwind" as I intended. The collection takes the poems from both of my previous poetry books as well as a slew of newer and unseen poems, and reorganizes them into a new experience. I hope you enough the look into my mind, as well as this celebration of my past works.
Autorenporträt
Born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in nearby Grandview, Matthew has been writing since the mid-90's. His love of poetry specifically and writing in general he credits to his Mother Wanda. Combining poets like Langston Hughes with books like the Encyclopedia Brown series in the stories she read him or he read as a child. His writing plays with the notions of morality and ethics, while providing space for deeper reading into the motivations and flaws of his characters. Utilizing the poetic flourishes of his other works, with the wit and slickness of comfortable everyday speech, his writing style strives to feel familiar without being too simplistic.Prior to his most recent work of creating the Darkland Saga, a series of novel length stories, Matthew created the two books of poetry which comprise part of the collection found in "Lost In My Whirlwind," called "Stories I Told Myself" and "M.E. & H.E.R. A Love Story." These works served as a celebration of past poetic writing, and storytelling through poetry. Away from creative writing pursuits, Matthew has maintained online blogs and podcast websites and collectives. As well as practices law in the State of Missouri. He also does smaller story content both online and for future collections. With plans for books and other literature projects away from his novel series upcoming.
