Hi! I’m Matthew.
I’m a writer and storyteller—mostly through prose.
This space is about the ongoing reclamation of my humanity. I tragically lost my firstborn daughter in the winter of 2025. Now, I write in her honor. I use words to reimagine a soulful, sensuous life, including themes of grief, healing, joy, inheritance, race, purpose, love, earth, etc.
On Overture, you’ll receive:
Short-form Content: “Untranslatable Words,” short reflections “On Living,” etc.
Long-form Content: Essays, creative nonfiction, letters, etc.
I pour my all into my words. However you engage, I’m grateful!
Why “Overture”?
An overture is the opening orchestral piece to an opera, play, piece of music, etc. It marks the start of beautiful expressions. I use this space as an overture for those seeking human exchanges of greater depth.
