When you open a book you hope that it will take you on a journey, that in some way you will be different, better, at its close. This book will make you feel and make you think - these words will speak for you. Matthew James listened for more than thirty years; he listened to what was inside him and he listened to the world all around him, and these poems are the result of his unique perspective.
A BURN IN THE PLACE OF BEAUTY is a collection of poetry spanning over thirty years that has never before been available. It chronicles the trials and tribulations of a man - love and its loss, addiction, crime and spirituality are just a few of the subjects discussed. Matthew James waited until almost the age of fifty to put these poems in print and share them with an audience.
For thirty-two years James wrote hundreds and hundreds of poems, then he narrowed it down to about fifty of his favorite - a lifetime of observations, emotions and thoughts are all captured on these pages in language that is at once accessible, and yet still masterful. A BURN IN THE PLACE OF BEAUTY belongs on every poetry lovers bookshelf.
