Stories We Must Tell
In this full-length collection of poems, Matthew recounts his lengthy journey of descent after a backpacking injury slowly strips him of the ability to walk. A gut wrenching and soul searching struggle with limitation and loss, Stories We Must Tell is full of hard fought insights acquired on a long, bruising path towards healing. $15 USD.
“Part journal of an illness without diagnosis, part descent into and slow crawl out from the pit of despair, this fine collection disdains the simple journey of healing for an unblinking engagement with suffering and joy.” -Michael Schein, author of Bones Beneath Our Feet
