Matt's Literary Moments

Poem for my wife [Creatively Composing]
This is all gushy, but every year for our anniversary I write a poem for my wife. These poems deepen my love for her and help me express my love in ways I otherwise wound not be able to. 

The Road [Sublime Literary Experience]
This book is full of heavy ideas. These heavy ideas combined with its dark nature makes for a book I had to put down on numerous occasions because it made me think in ways I hadn't before.

The Way of Kings [Reading Literature Privately]
This was one of those books that really inspired me to write creatively. I don't plan on making a living out of it, but expressing my ideas through fictional characters is something I will do for a long time. 

Ender's Game [Cinematic Literary Experience]
This wasn't one of the times where I reread the book because the movie was so good. I reread the book after this movie to remember that the book was good because the movie made it seem otherwise. 

Broadway Productions [Theatrical Experience]
I was spoiled enough to grow up two hours away from New York. I was able to see many of Broadway's masterpieces like Lion King, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, and Aladdin. I remember being completely captivated by every single performance. 

Beowulf [Discussing Literature]
Recently, I had a class that discussed Beowulf. We talked about why and how society creates monsters and I found it very profound and interesting. I spent some time after class thinking about that and talking about that with my wife.
