Books by Matt Hetherington

Matt Hetherington's seventh collection is a palindromic homage to the personal, the political, and the personal as political. Filled with playful, sometimes cheeky poetry, Kaleidoscopes is also a book of intimate observations, of relationships and gratitutude, of things missing and abundant, and of a poet seeking to find his place in a difficult but ultimately joyful world.

Matt Hetherington's new collection highlights his very unique way of breaking the world at large into subtle architectures of mystery and wonder. Hetherington is fascinated by finding the universal in the particular and the sublime in the vulgar, and wrapping it up in tight little packages of observation and feeling.
