Matthew Lawrence Luévano Campbell is a poet, musician, coffee shop manager, and aspiringhospice chaplain. Originally from Tucson, AZ, he now resides in Albuquerque, NM among thecottonwoods along the banks of the Rio Grande. There he lives with his wife, two sons, a dog,and two cats. His writing is in many respects a product of the desert of which he feels himselfinexorably a part. Here, perhaps as in all deserts across the world, the things of Heaven and thethings of Earth converge and intersect in striking ways, coursing silently within the same darkrivers.
