Mat is a poet and athlete hailing from Hawke's Bay. Combining the powerful words with a purposeful mindset, his journey through poetry took a 25 year hiatus. But having rediscovered his voice, passion, and purpose he aims to heal himself... and maybe others through the magic we call poetry. Known for pushing his body to the limit, with the scars to prove it, he puts his heart on his sleeve and his soul on the page.
