Hello You Guys.
I don’t normally make a point of sharing personal emails with you but I am going to today in order to give myself a starting point.
Here is an email from me to Matt Debenedictis that I sent him on Friday after I read his chapbook, “Congratulations! There’s No Last Place if Everyone is Dead”
OMG Matt.
Seriously.
And i'm not even talking about the spectacular, crisp and delicious presentation and goodies.
I just read it and,
wow.
you are SUCH AN AMAZING WRITER!
I didn't even want to write this because i wanted to pick apart all the little pieces that i loved that made me laugh that made my jaw drop and list them and feed them back to you.
But the bigger part of me, the feeling part, just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know that i feel these words are wasted on me. These words should be given to every person on the planet and then they would be utilized properly.
i loved it so very much matt. the way you use language just BAH! THE WAY YOU USE LANGUAGE KILLS ME AND KILLS ME AND KILLS ME WITH GOOD MURDERS!
How many do you have left? i need to try to write something up about it so you can sell them all.
do you talk like you write or just write how you write? you are so freakin' good i feel worthless.
godspeed.
oh, and the drawings ruled too.

Yeah, so, there. I just capital lovedloved this chapbook.
Matt has such a way of writing things, he makes me want to be a better writer while simultaneously making me feel like such a joke as a writer. I would love to crawl up inside his brain and watch the little man who runs the mechanisms while Matt is busy creating. Something tells me the little man doesn’t get paid enough to keep up with it all.
You need to own this. Now.
It's good stuff. Make your life more awesome. Get it now

Debenedictis knows from anger and death, he also knows humor, but that humor is a trap, or maybe a smokescreen or defense, because lurking behind it, is pain, and it is pain that ultimately underlies and drives this collection.
