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!

The Performance

Posted on April 21, 2025June 1, 2025

I was asked to present, well, dance,
tales of an ancient warrior,
and dicing the air, sword in hand,
summon all of my ancestors.

Looking out, I spoke a language
of unknown history and lore,
humbled by this chance, this standage,
to practice like never before…

The Problem With Blogging

Posted on April 18, 2025April 18, 2025

Ok, I’m using this space to practice, right? To practice how I want words to flow on a page before feeling like they are worthy of being published. With a blog, you’re not supposed to overthink it or over-edit it. You’re supposed to divulge some honest take about something you’re working on or going through,…
