Poetry. "The Roman poet Petronius once avowed that, considered rightly, there is shipwreck everywhere. In MOTH MOON, Matt Jasper goes farther still, proving time and again that shipwreck is a treasure unto itself, a perfect emerald before and after all mishap. Here, vision is rewarded with new eyes, and I am grateful for the news"—Donald Revell. "You should appreciate his work so he doesn't feel sad or kill people or start a new country and cause genocide"—Tao Lin. "I like Jasper's poems. The short poem 'Flight, ' for example, is a little miracle in the way that it allows me to see through the words into a wordless and darkly ecstatic experience"—Franz Wright
