Deeply felt and beautifully built, the poems in Matthew Nienow's long-awaited debut shimmer with hard-won grace. . . .House of Wateris a staggering book that marks the arrival of an important voice in American poetry."-Eduardo C. CorralThis debut highlights fatherhood at its peak as it juggles the uncertainty and deeper meaning of everyday life. The hesitant, yet curious voice of the poems are deeply entrenched in the familial, yet also refreshingly open about the crush one feels when their ideals crash down. How does one build a life, only to be redirected and start anew?The Magazineis evening-lit in your handsso the boat it showsin its small square of waterhas the light of the room, the windowsbehind you, the reflected bay-the magazine's horizonnearly the same, so no matterhow you try to strip the roomof metaphor and meaning, the roombecomes the boat, which you are in, hardly alone with your red sailsand curtain windMatthew Nienowlives in Port Townsend, Washington, with his wife and two sons, where he builds boats and custom wooden paddle boards.
