Poet, columnist, enemy of all that’s difficult and upsetting, Matt Harvey performs up and down the country at festivals, cabarets, conferences and colleges. He is host of the Wondermentalist Cabaret in Totnes, Kindred Spirit columnist and a regular contributor both to BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live and the Guardian’s Work section (honestly). He posts regularly on the Wondermentalist blog and occasionally on Soul and Soil.

The Guardian described Matt (accidentally) as “one of Britain’s leading poets”, the Dorset Echo as “fabulously understated”, and the Times as “a word-based organism from Devon.” The Independent called him “a pale man in a suit”. His latest book is The Hole in the Sum of my Parts – “It’s a tiny treasure – not only funny, but tender and true” (The Guardian).
