Default Poem in "The North"

I'm pleased have a prose poem in the latest issue of the The North, a biannual British print mag. I workshopped it here at the Sphere, so thanks to everyone for their input. Since I can't link to it, so here's a scan.

I'm also pretty chuffed to have a poem forthcoming in Sugar House Review next summer.

- Matt

Congratulations, Matt. Quite beautiful, resonant with the sadness of loss, to me.

I remember this when it was workshopped. Touching, subtle, magical. Looks even better in print.

I never know what to make of prose poems, Matt, but I read this one (more than once) and felt the touching, subtle magic that Joe mentions, and that’s all that matters. Well done.
