Atomic Fluorescence

Matt writes from a place of honesty no matter how difficult that may be. Atomic Fluorescence represents Matt's most insightful work to date; the poems contained here are a stark look at addiction, homelessness, mental health and life in the shadows of society. It might not be Keats but it is brutally honest as one of Matt's tutors once described him.Matt lives in Walsall but has travelled a bit, spending extended time in Canada, Italy and the Shetland Isles. He is a keen promotor of spoken word/poetry and helps to facilitate a monthly open mic where other artists can share their work. He lives with his wife Jo, a plant pot called Millie and a Vespa called Molly and can sometimes be caught making his own pasta sauces.
