Dip My Pacifier in Whiskey

Poetry. In his first full-length collection of poetry, DIP MY PACIFIER IN WHISKEY, Mathias Nelson's poems take the reader on an emotional journey where they are asked to view the world they already know just slightly askew. Nelson's honest and clear writing takes head on the reader's preconceived notions of just about everything imaginable from family and children to societal convention and the literary world. The reader learns early on that nothing is as expected, nothing predictable, and nothing sacred.

"Mathias Nelson's poetry makes me excited about the US poetry scene again. This is the real deal, ladies and gentlemen, the kind of poems that make you forget that the whole art form is dying on its feet, makes you think that maybe?just maybe?that this Mathias guy with his beautiful, fucked up, dazzling poems could be part of something that will shake the whole scene to its foundations."?Tony O'Neill
