Matt Nicholson (Spoken Label, August 2022)

Latest Spoken Label features our returning friend, the wonderful Matt Nicholson.

Matt is described as "Hi, I’m Matt Nicholson – I’m a poet, writer and performer from East Yorkshire (near to the poetic hotspot of Hull). I began writing as a kid, that kind of who am I and what’s it all about? stuff that a lot of people need as they begin to find their place in the world. I only really began to write with any purpose though when I found myself out of work when I was around 40…I have a heart condition and hated the work I had been doing, so I was seeking something new. I was lucky enough to do a creative writing course with The Open University and haven’t really stopped since then."

The session is primarily talking about Matt's new book 'Untanglement' which has had praise such as:

"Proof that poetry can break your heart and mend it again” – Helen Mort

“A collection by a poet who knows their voice and the world is a richer place because of it” – Wendy Pratt

“A body of work both beautifully intricate and thrillingly unsettling” – Russ Litten
