the DarkMafthew Brennan  \nAlice Friman,author of Reporting from Corinth:  \n\"Matthew Brennan writes young man's poems--clear eyed,honest,true--yet in them there is a note of sadness born ofexperience,as if he had been watching the world for a longlong time.\"  \nDavid Wojahn,author of Icehouse Lights and MysteryTrain:  \n\"Through a combination of deft lyrical balance and tender,emphatic portraiture,Matthew Brennan has created apoetry which resembles the warm clarity of Dutch interiors...[]n a time when too many of our poets have sought acool and cerebral distancing from their material,it isrefreshing to read a writer who cares deeply for his craftand for his poems'emotional resonance.\"  \nRichard Flynn,author of Randall Jarrell and the LostWorld of Childhood:  \n\"Matthew Brennan's poems are about the kind of blindinsight it takes to perceive one's role in the family,ourgreatest of fictions....These poems exhibit a faith that,far from blind,sees all,even
