Bøger af Matt Amott

These poems are sincere and simple. They evoke the same feeling as reading a postcard or slowly flipping through an old photo album. These are poems of bars, bikinis, backpacking, break-ups, best friends, and beauty. Of seasons and search for companionship, speedy getaways and summer crushes, whiskey shots and twelve hour shifts. Memories we cannot forget.It is refreshing to read a poet who doesn?t want to con-fuse, condescend, lecture or pontificate through poetry. Poems that are not written for nominations or awards?but for the heart. This collection is meant to be read, passed around, talked about and sent to your best friends; to be shared. Matt strives to be nothing more than clear and honest with the reader. He sips his drink slowly and appreciates the moment; before, during and in the aftermath. This is the gift of a good poet. Matt?s poems in The Memory of Her bring to life the sim-ple pleasures and slight pains that life and poetry present us.
