Chronicles From The Periphery

These poems plumb the depths of human despair and softly illuminate the light at the end of hope's tunnel. We are all human, and Matthew Jose bares his heart and soul to show us his addictions, his muse, his monsters and his humanity in all its shining and stark nakedness. Dark and light dance in tandem throughout the text. These poems are a salve for the soul and a comfort for the lost and downtrodden. Jose is most definitely a rising star on poetry's ever waxing horizon.
