I’m happy to announce the publication of Reckoning Ball.
Here’s a blurb from the back cover:
Reckoning Ball is the third full-length poetry collection by Matt Morris,
whom former U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo has compared to Adrian
Louis and Charles Bukowski. Rain Tree magazine praised his “irreverent
yet intellectual sense of humor” in poems that “know how to sing.” In
naming Reckoning Ball a finalist in the Trail to Table reading series,
editors at Wandering Aengus Press said, “These are beautiful poems
contending with past sorrows and regrets” that “carry a wistful kind
of hard-earned wisdom.”
This collection is comprised almost entirely of poems that previously appeared in various magazines prior to 2020—including some from the past millennium, so they've stood the test of time. Now, in these dark days, I’ve embarked barefoot, a virtual Johnny Appleseed of poetry, spreading the gospel of truth & beauty across the globe, albeit, in my case, mostly via the internet. If you’d like to contribute to the cause (mi causa su causa), please consider purchasing Reckoning Ball by clicking here. It is also available (or soon will be) at the usual booksellers—you know the ones!
