Hiding Inside a Man

Advance praise for the book, coming November 2024…

“Matt’s deeply personal book with his words, his drawings, his inner journey, also seems universal. We elders may recognize this journey as we have been there. Young men may track this path, discover their own trajectory and take heart. With this gift of guidance they may just find the soul poetry of worthy masculinity.”

“If my dad had handed this book to me, I would have known that I wasn’t alone. I believe that many men, of any age, will see aspects of their own personal journey in these pages, hauntingly laid out in a form that walks the line between picture book and graphic novel.”
