Over the years, acclaimed writer Matt Burns has written novels, memoirs, short stories, essays and screenplays but one style of writing he never thought he would try was poetry. This was because he was intimidated by the form and the rhymes. Also...well, let's face it folks: he thought poetry was wussy.

Burns' attitude changed, however, one night in January 2013 at around three o'clock in the morning. He was surfing through Netflix and stumbled upon a documentary on the unconventional poet Charles "Hank" Bukowski. Burns was immediately fascinated by Bukowski's work and realized that poetry didn't need form or rhymes. Also, poems could be about non-wussy things that were gritty! And raw!

That night, Burns tried writing his very first poem. It went well. It went really well. From that point forward, Burns was officially bitten by the poetry bug, and thus ensued a four-year period where Burns pretty much wrote nothing but poetry.

"THREE A.M." is a collection of that poetry.

At times very dark, at other times very funny, Burns' raw and gritty poetry is a must-read for fans of the Bukowski poetic style. Subjects range from politics to social studies to current events, media, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, religion, human nature, sex, drinking, love, hate...and much, much more. There are over 250 poems in this diverse collection of poetry so there is bound to be something for everyone.

Get Three A.M. HERE.
