EXCLUSIVE: Steven Matthews, Author of the Must-Read ‘On Magnetism,’ Explains why Everyone Needs Poems, Even — or maybe especially — in High-Tech, Distracted Times

June 16, 2017 • by DailyClout

Steven Matthews, born in Colchester, UK, is a leading voice in contemporary poetry. He teaches in Oxford and Reading. In his new book, On Magnetism, he unites Romantic sensibility with an urgent timely focus. We are thrilled to introduce him as our first Poet Laureate, here at DailyClout. Just because we’re saving democracy doesn’t mean we don’t cherish the higher arts. Matthews explains why everyone, even now, needs poetry. 

A Rhodes Scholar, former advisor to Clinton and Gore campaigns, and author of eight NYT nonfiction bestsellers, Dr. Naomi Wolf has been creating globally influential opinion for 28 years. She is CEO of DailyClout.
