Nicholas Matzoros

Nicholas Matzoros is an emerging young voice in literature whose work dismantles common tropes and norms with irrevocably original language.

“Direct the intention seaward,” and “Asunder, sticking to the hurricane like glue.”

Direct the intention seaward, where kelp forests sway like cathedral tapestries,
And the hush of the deep folds inward, a silence vast enough to hold the ache of longing.

Let your thoughts unfurl like sea anemones, soft and trembling,
Reaching for the light that dances down in scattered gold
