Matthew M. Monte Libros

All Tomorrow's Train Rides is an odyssey of reading and poetic memory. What begins, as a single day in a worker's commute, morphs into a Möbius loop of natural history and cultural consciousness that might spans lifetimes."Where do we read and whom?" is a question that drives the nostalgia, dread, and humor of this collection. Riddled with geographical coordinates and commentary, with excursions into Spanish and French, these interdependent poems explore the idea of "living in translation" and fuse the formal aesthetics of cartography to our relationships with people, places, books, and the non-human world.
