About the book
In Toy Gun, Matt fires his offbeat childhood and adolescence at the page. He enters each exit wound with sharp diction and form, extracting shards of trauma, mental health, and evolutionary violence. What you'll find in this collection is ambitious anaphora - an attempt to explain the irrationality of an obsessive mind by imitation. The result of it all? Raw candour dripped on the backdrop of New York suburbia; an intimacy that lingers from backyard barbeques to funeral homes. You do not want to miss this searing debut.
