Matthew McGugan is a nonspeaking autistic who cannot type or write on his own. No Paper, No Pen is his first collection of deeply personal poetry and prose. Matthew uses a rich and varied vocabulary that takes the reader on a journey into his world, one where he feels trapped in this body. Matthew writes with a boldness and authenticity. His work is highly sensitive, aware and expressive; at once hopeful and tragic yet also filled with love. From dreamy iridescence to raw longing, No Paper, No Pen is more than a collection of writing, it is a way of thinking, feeling and experiencing the world. No Paper, No Pen will take you out of your comfort zone and expand your world.

Matthew's poetry draws us into his world through vivid imagery and profound metaphor. Passionate and deeply intelligent, his words are beautiful and heartbreaking, revealing a remarkable mind and an extraordinary poetic voice.
