The Memory of Her. by Matt Amott

Publisher
Epic Rites Press

In my time of doing reviews I have had the great fortune of reading some outstanding poets.

And after reading The Memory of Her by Matt Amott I am grateful I continue to do these reviews.

Matt’s work is like a great album with the scratches that add such beautiful character to every line of this outstanding collection.

His work is fast and sharp as a straight razor in it’s humor and heart.

From early writes like Insomniac that deals with a subject I can certainly identify with.

Matt shows the truth of relationships on the rocks with great wit and a true voice of an absolutely fantastic poet.

As in later writes such as The Silent Treatment once had me laughing as you can easily visualize the poet in this situation Matt easily connects and that's what the best poets do with ease.

To Ride Eternal is a beautiful and haunting tribute and a personal favorite of mine.

This book flows with ease and will have you yearning for more as this collection is a must for any true fan of poetry and also perfect for someone who claims not to be a fan of poetry.

As this book truly has it all from the perfect mix of humor and sadness with great soul.

The best poetry to me is like music and much like a great old soul record or blues album this collection is a true gem that needs to be read.

The book closes out with Unwelcome Inspiration which is definitely a perfect write to close this collection.

Matt Amott hasn't written a good book with The Memory of Her from start to finish, Matt has written a great book and certainly in my opinion one of the best books I have read in awhile.

I cannot say enough good things about this fine collection from Epic Rites Press.

But I can say you truly are missing out if you do not pick yourself up a copy today.

This book definitely is one you will read again and again.

Until next time keep drinking and reading.
