Mowing Leaves Of Grass

Paperback – December 22,2019

"Matt Sedillo is stone-cold the best political poet in America.  Every wildly inventive line is the snap of a switch-blade.  Forget the pretentious toffs who poetize for the NPR crowd.  Sedillo is Vengeance — the one we’ve been waiting for." 

-Greg Palast, Author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and recipient of The George Orwell Courage in Journalism Award 

"It's the poets who inspire me and Matt is one of the finest of a generation."

 - Roxeanne Dunbar Ortiz, Author of an Indigenous People’s History of the United States and recipient of the The Lannan Lifetime Achievement Prize for Cultural Freedom

"Matt Sedillo's poetic work is full of history, struggle, tragedy, anger, joy, despair, possibility and faith in the struggles of working class people to overcome the forces of capitalism and racism. If Patrice Lumumba, Rosa Luxembourg, Emiliano Zapata and Ella Baker were alive today, they would all be reading and sharing Matt Sedillo's work with their comrades in service of organizing the next revolution. He is truly the poet laureate of struggle." 

- Paul Ortiz, Author of Emancipation Betrayed  and  Director of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program
