Synopsis
A former U.S. State Department employee and the former program coordinator of the American Council on Germany, Mathys is now pursuing a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He brings the seriousness of his diplomatic background to his writing and, as our editor, Chris Fischbach says, "He's in Eliot territory with the subjects he's writing about: you won't find any traces of faddy irony or cleverness here. This is poetry that really means it. This kind of work is always risky, but it's also the kind of work that can last for a very long time."
