Four poems in Crazyhorse

I forgot to post here that I had four poems appear in Crazyhorse (Number 84/Fall 2013): “Frost Pear,” “Caliper Owl Thistle Fork,” “The Sphinx * The Asterisk,” and “Villa Lyric.” The first three are from my current Book of M project, and the last from Smite & Spoon.

Chip Livingston wrote an insightful review of the issue for NewPages, and singled out my poems for mention:

Matthew Hittinger, another poet of whom I was previously a fan, also surprised me with his poems—two of which, “Caliper Owl Thistle Fork” and “The Sphinx * The Asterisk,” challenged my conceptions of line breaks and phrasal breath, spacing, “asterism,” and taught me new things about poetry while, at the same time, entertaining me.
