The Outside unfolds a luminous tapestry of cosmic echoes and earthly intimacies. In a series of poetic dictations and divinations, Matt Trease navigates constellations of language, myth, and transcendence, inviting readers to dwell in mystery. An alchemical journey of perception, this book blurs the line between the tangible earth-breath and the infinite heavens. Matt Trease composes a propulsion of language carried by the energy of the Duwanish River, and of old paths and fields I never knew. Elemental and cosmological, the poem asks us to remain in tranquility as we try to discover where/we actually live. My favorite line: The Source seeks harmony between/itself and the world/canoe. In the spirit of reclamation, Trease's language surrenders to The Outside the way gravity surrenders to earth, or sunlight to the sparkle of water. - Sharon Theson We have entered an age where survival of the species is the invisible handwriting on the wall that gets more real with each sortie Gaia sends our way. Trease gives us tools to navigate this era and, connecting deeply with the now and here helps us remember what is at stake. - Paul E. Nelson As we read Matt Trease's polychromatic poems in The Outside, we touch and feel the poetry of entities and identities, enmeshed in an accordion of architecture and physics, spirituality and possibility. Gardens and nature are forever contained in his minuscule cross-spectral telescopes that allow us to construct and intimate inner landscapes of beauty, hope and magical, mystical variations of our present reality. - Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs
