Praise for Matthew Sadler's work:
"Emerson could have been thinking about Matthew Sadler when he compared writing poetry to ice skating, because you are often taken to places you didn't exactly intend to go. These poems glide from one thing-time-place to another driven only by the sheer trust this poet has in his imaginitive process." - Billy Collins, Author and former Poet Laureate of the United States
"Matt Sadler's The Much Love Sad Dawg Trio oscillates between letters to the world and interrogations of the self... these poems veer away from claims in favor of questions... they have made a commitment to cultivate awe, to ask for answers, to believe deeply in the possibility of responsiveness- between poetry and the world, between person and person." Kristi Maxwell, Author of Realm Sixty-Four.
