wandering matt

Author: Matt Larson

With my first book, 4000s by 40, released this fall, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing, and am excited to continue the journey of storytelling with future projects—so much so that the day after I published 4000s by 40, I began my next work. Much of my inspiration comes from nature. My early love for the ocean, found on the South Shore of Massachusetts, has transitioned into a deep passion for the mountains here in New Hampshire, and I wanted to share that with my first book. If you’d like to connect or have any inquiries, you can reach out to me at [email protected]. I’m also on Instagram and Facebook at wanderingmatt8. Happy reading!

Posted on May 20, 2025May 20, 2025

Been doing a lot of writing and book “stuff” lately. Couple that with the deluge of rain these last few weeks, and there hasn’t been much time to hit the trail. Looking back on some of the pictures taken of me over this heavy stretch of typing and talking, one thing is clear: I’ve gotten…

Poetry Out There

There’s Poetry Out Here

Posted on May 15, 2025May 17, 2025

There’s poetry out here
if I keep my wits about me,
stumbling out above the clear,
upon the schist and scree.

A chance to pull and find
what huddled masses long to know,
but never dare to leave behind
the soil that they sow.
