The Spoils
Reviews

Los Angeles Times:
“[Mathys] is a bit like the mid-century poets of the New York School of poetry (which counts John Ashbery and Frank O’Hara among its members), only with the whimsy replaced by a menacing sense of claustrophobia. You find he can go from high culture to low in one stomach-churning swoop . . . wonderfully, disturbingly, upsettingly real. Reading Mathys, one remembers that poetry isn’t a dalliance, but a way of sorting through life-or-death situations.”
