Introducing… Matt Nunn

Writing about web page http://www.mattthepoet.co.uk/

Matt Nunn

Prophet of urban decay and concrete epiphanies, Matt Nunn quests through the city's broken regions looking for the elusive shrapnel that might capture the beautiful whole, but mostly finds himself watching fist fights in pub parking lots, or curry house brawls. Anti-laureate of Birmingham, prepare to witness the onslaught of a crusader at war with pretension and sentimentality. His name like the last beats on the drum before a charge: Matt Nunn.

Mark Goodwin suggested I try writing a series of these poems, after introductions I gave four poets at a Nine Arches event in Birmingham.
