"In Bird-Brain, Matt Mauch has blossomed a heart-swollen landscape from the mundane—the alleyway, the cubicle, the interstate. His tornadic writing is a brilliant abracadabra—a lavish spiraling together and upward of intellect and emotion, of belief and need and fun.
—Alex Lemon
"Matt Mauch's poems do what the inventive brain does, whirling in and out of railings with the self, attempting to make sense of everyday life, the mundane reality up against the wild bird-self: the true mind.... These are genuine, raw, sprawling poems that unveil the ghost self perfectly."
—Bianca Stone
