Pan-Worldly Things

“Craig Matheson is a sincere, deep-thinking bard, tackling the biggest existential quandaries and putting them to verse. I’m amazed how none of these rhymes seems forced nor does the content suffer for the sake of a rhyme.”


—Maureen Seaberg, author of Fearfully and Wonderfully Made





“A writer whom each erudite reader cannot help but discover a viscerally transgressive thrill, Craig Matheson’s poetry seems to be a poignant combination of the best of magical tenderness and a terrific worst in teasing your mind in discourse. I’m glad he made sure this terribly delicious tome exists.”


—Randy Eady, alt med & integrative health editor, WebMedCentral





“Craig Matheson’s intriguing poetry collection, Pan-Worldly Things, challenges the reader to confront the dichotomy inherent in human existence and the world at large. His lyrical mosaic delves deeply into the paradox of life, traveling philosophically through the ages—from ancient schools of thought to modern interpretations—to explore the interconnectedness between apparent opposites. A passionate, ambitious, and promising endeavor for a novice poet.”
