Synopsis
''The tiny Azores Archipelago might have slipped through the net of our New World Literature were it not for this fine collection by Carlo Matos.''--Robert Antoni, author of Divina Trace.. ''At turns whimsical and philosophical, Carlo Matos' debut collection presents family history alongside substantial discussion of heritage and identity. As he describes the stories we inherit from the generations before us, Matos creates a disconcerting dreamscape, in which 'the locusts are gone, the lights are on/ and the sky is fallen.' Like only the best poets, he finds beauty in the wreckage. A School for Fishermen is a wonderful and moving book.''--Kristina Marie Darling, author of Melancholia (An Essay)

From the Back Cover
Animal, vegetable, or mineral? You never know quite what to expect in A School for Fishermen by Carlo Matos. Populated with distant (and distanced) relatives, not-so-clandestine affairs, and a lemur, Matos conflates the bestial, natural world with the human--characters with "stingers like pigtails" and string theory mashed with marsh gas. Unafraid to look at the vastness of existence, Matos often arrives at the somber--always "one short of the solution," where "the keys don't catch." Yet for Matos, somehow everything "ends in repair," bringing us, dear reader, hope." --Brandi Homan, Author of Hard Reds
