After a rather extended and varied second childhood in New Orleans (street musician, psych-tech, riverboat something-or-other, door-to-door poetry peddler, etc.), Matt Dennison finished his undergraduate degree at Mississippi State University where he won
the National Sigma Tau Delta essay competition (judged by X.J. Kennedy) and placed third in the Southern Literary Festival for fiction. He is the author of Kind Surgery from Urtica Press (Fr.) and  Waiting for Better from Main Street Rag Press. His poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in Verse Daily, Rattle, The New York Quarterly Magazine,
The National Poetry Review, Bayou Magazine, Redivider and Cider Press Review, among others. His fiction has appeared in ShortStory Substack, House of Long Shadows, Prole, The Wondrous Real and StoryUnlikely.
