	NewPages Reviews - Satellite by Matthew Roherer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Satellite is Matthew Rohrer’s second big step in poetry since the 1995 release of his first book, A Hummock in the Malookas.
		While Rohrer still writes quite a bit in the style of symbolic imagery, the majority of the writing presented in Satellite is the kind that digs deeper, beneath the visual imagination, peeling away layers with each line to hit an inner core that is not pure logic, not rational emotion.
		Rohrer is a young poet on the scene.

		You experience some kind of emotion that you can't even name, but it's deep and real.
		That's the power of Matthew Rohrer's new poems.
		These poems are proof that time doesn’t exist since it can dissolve within a great poet’s touch, in his soul and body.

	The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry: See and Hear Poetry - Matthew Rohrer
		Matthew had a friend in the car with him, and both of them saw this creature pass in front of them through the headlights.
		Matthew is the type to downplay this kind of thing, whether he dwells on it inwardly or not.
		I asked Matthew, and he shrugged and continued to strum an imaginary guitar, and Matthew’s unconcern is the biggest mystery of them all.

	Alibris: Matthew Rohrer
		Rohrer, a poetry editor at Fence magazine, offers his second collection of work.
		Rohrer's first volume was a 1994 National Poetry Series selection.
		Matthew Rohrer's simple, hilarious, generous and strangely disquieting poems conjure versions of the most familiar aspects of our lives-friendship, marriage, childhood, work-into which intrude incongruous, peculiar, fantastical, yet somehow totally recognizable elements.

		I met Matthew and Joshua last December at bar bes in Park Slope, where they were awaiting the arrival of some friends from Slovenia (poets Gregor Podlogar and Primos Cucnik) and of Verse editor Matthew Zapruder, for whom Joshua had bought a classic Ouija board to celebrate Zapruder’s winning of the Merrill fellowship.
		Rohrer was also awaiting the birth of his first child, within the week.
		So Matthew was saying, we have to do a performance tonight for them, and that possibility is amazing—all of a sudden to regain this thing that poetry has been about forever, which is, You can do it whenever you want.

	A Hummock in the Malookas (Main Page) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the singular landscape of Matthew Rohrer's first book of poems, the weather, the food, even the household appliances come to life.
		Rohrer illuminates a land of skewed realities where the impossible seems familiar, the sacher torte is afraid to be eaten, and it's always dusk in the forest.
		"What [Rohrer] tells us about his world, in language that is both lush and exact, is likely to be a haunting experience."—Mary Oliver Raised in Oklahoma and an MFA graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop, Matthew Rohrer now lives in New York City.

	Powell's Books - Green light by Matthew Rohrer
		Though it includes serious ecological themes (notably in 'Hone Quarry,' a series of 56-syllable stanzas about a camping trip), this wary, slippery new volume's dominant notes are deadpan humor and bleak nonstop irony.
		On occasion Rohrer captures not just their humor but their urgency.
		Much of the volume, however, ends up so committed to its self-conscious stance that the poems have time for little else: with lines like 'I want to be an interesting story/ none of you really remembers,' they're less Tomasz Salamun than David Letterman.

		His tendency is to be surrealistic, but his natural distrust is tempered by giddy curiosity and a simmering anguish that belie a moral attentiveness.
		Also, Rohrer has said that "I Hail" began as a technical challenge: to write with only colons for punctuation, so that "the build-up makes every element of the poem seem to play an equally important role.
		In Rohrer's poem, just the suggestion of a thing ("we take up our defensive positions/against the machinations of the universe") initiates imaginative connections and bright juxtapositions to something else ("we don't even know what we are"), even if that something else seems unrelated.

		A poetically inclined pair of tricksters, Beckman and Rohrer put on an act in which they compose poems from audience-suggested topics, trading each line or even every other word to arrive at Jack Handey-meets-Ogden Nash gems.
		Take these couplets from their Hurt, Virginia, series: "Hundreds of churches/Can't be wrong," and "The price of this rural life/Is painstakingly obvious." Their charming, improvised ramblings and rhymes — created onstage and while driving together across the country — recently have been collected on the Gospel of Beauty (Verse Press).

	Nice Hat. Thanks. - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		When Joshua Beckman and Matthew Rohrer read together at the St. George Poetry Festival in September, they asked the audience to provide topics for improvised poems.
		Overall, their method is winning because it is manipulated with dexterity and aplomb by two nimble poets with a spry sense of humor and a refreshing willingness to set aside their artistic egos.
		There is little likeness between the collaborative poems and the work Beckman and Rohrer have published separately.

		Beckman and Rohrer offered the Voice some insight into their process.

		In "Where Art and Poetry Collide: A Profile of John Yau" (Poets & Writers Magazine, page 24) by Matthew Rohrer, Yau emphasizes that writers must contend with the rules, the givens of language, just as painters must contend with the given restriction of a two-dimensional canvas.
		"For example," writes Rohrer, "he has worked with a vocabulary of five or seven words, rearranging and recomposing them." What do you think Yau is trying to accomplish by working in such a way?
		In Rohrer's article, Yau also says, "What I liked about painting was that it was not reducible.

	Boston Review: More Poetry Microreviews
		Distinguished, too, by Phillips’s characteristic phrasal complexity, intricate lyricism, and sinuous syntax, these poems have—like the work of the Greek and Roman poets he spent much of his early academic career studying—a monumental quality, a sense of the magnetically mysterious which draws the reader back, as to the classics, again and again.
		“I try to view nearly every situation as humorous and detached,” Matthew Rohrer admits early on in A Green Light, his third collection.
		The death of God, the nightmare of history, the fleetingness of life: Rohrer chooses to face these enormities from a distance, through a lens of irony.

		I went because my friends from New York were there this year: Matthew Rohrer nominated in the international category and his publisher Matthew Zapruder on hand as well.
		Great guys who I seldom get to see, so I thought it would be a good idea to catch up with them in my home town and cheer Rohrer on.
		I had had lunch with Zapruder earlier in the day to catch up, and it was a good thing, because given the scope of the event, I barely saw them.

		His first, the charming and surreal A Hummock in the Malookas, was selected by Mary Oliver for the 1994 National Poetry Series, published by W.W. Norton and Co, and named by Publishers Weekly as a Best Book of 1995.
		Now, in his second book, Rohrer further develops his darkly comic, magical realist, singular sensibility.
		Analogous in spirit to the paintings of Magritte and reminiscent of James Tate, Tomaz Salamun, Charles Simic, and Mark Levine, Rohrer writes beautiful, existential poety of love, nature, and childhood set in a post-apocalyptic, off-kilter world uncannily similar to our own.

	City Pages - Secret Lives of Everyday Objects
		One remedy is Matthew Rohrer's poems, which open a passageway like a hatch painted onto a Magritte canvas--surreal, startling, and rooted in the enchanting premise that objects lead double lives.
		These poems won't wow you with semantic tricks, or send you scurrying for a dictionary; in other words, they aren't limited to the poets-as-readers crowd.
		In that regard, the risk Rohrer takes in style is twofold, and also rare in a young poet: His language is spare, and his narratives dare to spring full-blown from wacky, innocent premises.
