We discuss Matthew Mejia's book The Feel, how his life was transformed by the arts, Nervous Ghost Press, Effective Communications, how to discuss controversial topics effectively, and finally Mejia reads from his forthcoming book.
Matthew Mejia is an American poet whose work explores trauma, fear, grief, and the self. He is driven and inspired by his Japanese, Mexican, and Indigenous ancestry. “I am my ancestors’ dream, and their bones are mine.” Through art, he continues to heal generations of violence and abuse in order to unify his communities. Matthew began Nervous Ghost Press with the fundamental idea that writing saves lives. He believes that all people deserve to experience the beauty and power of the arts and will always fight to illustrate that “our voices carry power and strength.”
