Things We Don't Know We Don't Know - by Matthew T Mason (Paperback)

About the Book

"Whether turning his attention to kiwifruit, "Wild Kingdom's" Marlin Perkins, the Strategic Air Command Museum, or lovers who with luck may come to resemble a no-expiration-date snack cake, Mason sheds some of his Nebraskan light on our universally human proceedings." --David Clewell, author of "Now We're Getting Somewhere."

Book Synopsis

2007 Nebraska Book Award

"Matt Mason must be declared the Poet Laureate of the Midwest! No other native son celebrates the overlooked America, its unsung citizens (from the anonymous poets to the part-time English teachers), and its expansive indigenous landscape as well as he does. Mason's poetry is humorous when he wants to be quirky, heartbreaking when he wants to be eloquent, and though he moves effortlessly into other moods and geographies, he always returns to his first and most enduring love (and to what he knows best)--his homeland."--Rigoberto González, Director, National Book Critics Circle
