Matthew David Campbell

Matthew David Campbell was born into two Biblical names and a Scottish last name of a pack Cannibals. He is definitely poor in spirit, and unlike Biblical David he is not considered a king. After leaving NJ for the small towns of Maine and Vermont and college he gained a BA from U. Maine Machias, an MFA from Bennington College, had two sons and then his wife died from cancer. He moved back to NJ, remarried (to Beautiful Holly), gained a stepson, and had a daughter with his new wife. He sells graves and crypts to feed the human nuthouse, serving both the living and the dead...

His poems have appeared in journals including Spires, Idiom, and Tight, as well as the anthology The Brink: Post Modern Poetry from 1965 to the Present.
