about

The audiobook for Atmosphere of Mona.

"It is indeed a masterwork - from the opening majestic image to the closing one. It's a great flow of words, slowing, gathering pace, surging - as nature does."
Shirley Collins, folk singer and author

"Matthew Shaw channels reverse traditions into the future via music/word gnosis, landscape as character/life, and a connection to the heart that is as direct, and spontaneous, as it is unerringly true."
David Keenan, author

"It is a very innovative work; plangent and melancholy and almost certainly the first haunted book I have ever read."
Sir Tim Smit, author, Co-founder of Eden Project & The lost gardens of Heligan

"These poems hold space and breath in a Haiku of moments; the drift of the music cupped, stopping us dead in our tracks. Now the flow and ebb, which he mastered before, watches the singularity of the moment. The stand still to breath in the actual moment. The primal zen of now. "
Brian Catling, artist and author

"Matthew Shaw is a magnificent voice of the nature spirit as well as the human spirit. He combines beautiful feelings with clear thoughts. I am always inspired by the depth of his powerful poems."
Satish Kumar, author, activist and Editor Emeritus of Resurgence

"I think what the poems show is attentiveness, open-ness, a sensitivity to possibilities but without tipping over into anything too obviously pantheistic."
Mark Valentine, author
