Filling the Void

A hugely-gifted young writer who contributed to us often... As readers of this site know Matt was an incredibly mature young writer. He had a laser mind great imagination and a wide-ranging appetite for books but it was his moral commitment that bound those talents into memorable pieces of writing. He had attended graduate school and worked as a bartender but saw both those activities as getting in the way of his chief goal leading a life of the mind.
