Matt Borkowski

The Reincarnation of Shelley and Other Poems by Matt Borkowski

Collection of poems by New Jersey poet Matt Borkowski edited by Dave Roskos published by Iniquity Press/Vendetta Books. "Matt is neither a leftist nor a reactionary, neither a street poet nor an academic. He is a great American crank, in the best tradition of W. C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Charles Ives, Hugh Selby, Algren...someone truly outside the establishment, including the anti-establishment. Matt Borkowski cannot be read in comfort by either the right or the left. He is an ontologist of the dispossessed, the fucked up and broken beyond all class distinctions and political lines." -- Joe Weil, editor Black Swan Review & Cat In The Sun Books "Matt Borkowski is a Romantic Poet in the truest sense of the word. His uncompromising vision is ultimately not sustainable for the long haul, but what a fucking ride he takes us on. Take heed; these words damn, cajole, prod, amuse, haunt and lay bare the soul. You'll be a richer person for the read." -- Danny Shot, editor of Long Shot magazine
