This One Breath

by Matthew Foley

This One Breath is the third poetry book from Matthew Foley, a poet, writing coach, and yoga teacher in Charleston, South Carolina. The poems in This One Breath represent a major stylistic shift for Foley. After years of honing his craft on stage as a spoken word poet, Matt wanted to experiment with shorter poems that explore more introspective themes such as spirituality, loss, love, forgiveness, and growth. The spiritual themes of Matt's poems will be represented visually in the book by the incredible mandala artwork of Charleston artist Nabil Aasiya-Bey. As the reader progress through the book, they will witness a mandala evolving right before their eyes, growing more complex in shape and color with each page. Matt & Nabil hope that this unique combination of poetry and artwork will create a truly unique experience for the reader. This book will also represent the third collaboration between Foley and fellow Charleston poet & graphic designer Marcus Amaker. Amaker designed the cover and layout for Foley's first two books of poetry, We Could Be Oceans and The Typewriter Sutra.
