"Expert and instinctive, like a cool Ed Wilkerson sax solo bouncing
with lived rhythms. Morton's consummate poems will echo long after
they are read." -Booklist Selected by Patricia Smith as winner of
the 2018 A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize, Matt Morton's debut poetry
collection Improvisation Without Accompaniment embraces uncertainty
with a spirit of joyous playfulness. These lyric poems follow the
rhythms of life for a young man growing up in a small Texas town.
As the speaker wrestles with ruptures within the nuclear family and
the loss of his religious beliefs, he journeys toward a deeper
self-awareness and discovers a fuller palette of experiences. Over
the course of this collection, the changing seasons of small-town
Texas life give way to surprise encounters in distant cities. The
speaker's awareness of mortality grows even as he improvises an
affirming response to life's toughest questions. Poignant,
searching, and earnestly philosophical, Improvisation Without
Accompaniment reaches for meaning within life's joys and griefs.
