• Matt Mason debe ser declarado poeta laureado del Medio Oeste. Ningún otro hijo nativo celebra tan bien como él la olvidada América, sus ciudadanos anónimos (desde los poetas anónimos hasta los profesores de inglés a tiempo parcial) y su extenso paisaje autóctono. La poesía de Mason es humorística cuando quiere ser estrafalaria, desgarradora cuando quiere ser elocuente, y aunque se mueve sin esfuerzo en otros estados de ánimo y geografías, siempre vuelve a su primer y más duradero amor (y a lo que mejor conoce): su tierra natal.
