Adrian Matejka

Some strong pieces. Would love to hear a reading.

This is a monthly poetry magazine for January 2023. The artist printed are diverse and subject matter varies.

This is some powerful poetry. A collection of pieces in the voices of fighter Jack Johnson and the white women he loved and betrayed, Adrian Matejka captures the rhythmic style of boxing in his phrasings, the lyrical punch of the pugilist in his words. I found myself going back and rereading passages just for their sheer impact, be it beauty or brutality.

This is fifteen rounds of pure and powerful poetry. Seek it out.

Incredible. A must-read.
