Always original, genuine and generous, Matthew Sweeney's poetry has matured to the point where its artistry can be recognized. He's brilliant on stories that disclose the strange, the ironic, the sad
Douglas Dunn
He is by turns hilarious and subversive, a master of the cheekily surreal, whose conspiratorial mateyness often conceals a grinning skull
New Statesman
Here are the small and great truths of the imagination that bursts forth out of our daily lives. Sweeney's poems are reflective, funny, supremely inventive and impeccably written. This is contemporary poetry at its very best
Charles Simic
Very individual, imaginative, fresh work... The poems are disquieting, odd, dark, beautifully honed and cadenced
Ruth Padel, Financial Times
