"The thing about Matt's writing, 'poetry' if you will, is that it's funny. Not 'funny for poetry' but straight up funny. And thoughtful. And human. You won't have to dig deep into layers of metaphorical self-indulgent word play to enjoy it either. It's all right there for you. I enjoy Matt's work on the same level that I do Daniel Clowes or Jack Handey. In fact he's kind of the poetry version of their baby. If Daniel and Jack had a baby. I'm not sure that Daniel Clowes and Jack Handey have even met. But also they aren't capable of having a baby so never mind. But you get my point." --David Cross, actor
