About //

Bio

Matthew Breit is a writer and artist whose work (lyric essays, experimental prose, fiction) explores death, myth, depth psychology, technology, and mysticism, drawing on thinkers and writers from the Buddha and Ursula Le Guin to whoever said something strange-true on the internet last Tuesday.

He holds an MFA in Fiction from Kent State and a B.A. in Philosophy from Penn State. You can find his work in Crayfish Mag and on poets.org. He lives in Kent, OH, where he drinks too much coffee, runs D&D campaigns, and thinks about death a lot. Which is to say: he's doing great.
