Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize, Matt Morton's debut poetry collection <i>Improvisation Without Accompaniment</i> embraces uncertainty with a spirit of joyous playfulness.</p> <p>These lyric poems follow the rhythms of life for a young man growing up in a small Texas town. As the speaker wrestles with ruptures within the nuclear family and the loss of his religious beliefs, he journeys toward a deeper self-awareness and discovers a fuller palette of experiences. Over the course of this collection, the changing seasons of small-town Texas life give way to surprise encounters in distant cities. The speaker's awareness of mortality grows even as he improvises an affirming response to life's toughest questions.</p> <p>Poignant, searching, and earnestly philosophical, <i>Improvisation Without Accompaniment</i> reaches for meaning within life's joys and griefs.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Matt Morton holds a BA from the University of Texas at Austin and an MFA from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars.
