Matt Nagin's Blog: Matt Nagin, on Writing - Posts Tagged "poems"

Thanks for joining me on Goodreads. I love writing and have been writing in some form since age 16. I have written poems, stories, novels, screenplays, suicide notes...you name it (the suicide note line was sort of a joke). Recently, I put together my first poetry collection, "Butterflies Lost Within The Crooked Moonlight." For a sample please go here https://www.wattpad.com/user/MNagin

I've been a standup comedian for eleven years. What propelled me into standup was comedic writing. Humor writing is perhaps my greatest passion. In 2007, I put together a collection of short humor. If you like satirical flights of fancy and wild irreverence then be sure to pick up my first humor collection, "From the Fridge To The Crackerjack Box." Check it out, along with my new book of poetry, at https://www.amazon.com/Matt-Nagin/e/B... I would love your feedback and appreciate your review.


Thanks for reading! I really look forward to hearing from you!

My new poetry book just hit #12 in the New Releases Poetry Category on Amazon. I never expected this! Thanks for the support! I think this book is a definite improvement over my prior book, "Butterflies Lost Within The Crooked Moonlight."

Hope you will check it out!

My third poetry book, "Notes From The Bonfire" is now avail on Amazon. It is mainly poems about Covid-19 and the impact it has had on us all.

This virus has been devastating to so many. It has not only caused tremendous death and suffering, but, in many cases, led to long-term health-consequences. What is more, it has damaged countless individuals financially, mentally and, more often than not, led to a complete alteration of lifestyle.

I had my own set of trying experiences with Covid-19, which I recount in the book, the entirety of which was written during the five weeks I struggled to recuperate from the virus. Fortunately, I have recovered, but others, sadly, have not been so lucky.

I wrote the book as a way of responding to all the chaos and sorrow I saw around me while
living in New York City, the first U.S. epicenter. I hope it can be of some help to others, possibly offering them new ways of processing what has happened. If not, then, in the very least, it stands as a record of my thoughts and feelings at the time, a way of responding to this national tragedy.

Poems are accompanied by photos by Adrzej Jerzy Lech and illustrations by Natasha Yearwood. Half of all proceeds will go to Doctors Without Borders. Hope you can check it out!
