I’m on the DLWeekly podcast today, with my interview starting at the 59:50 mark (after a deep dive into the week’s Disneyland news).
Herein, find out more about how when one starts writing a book they think is about Disneyland, they end up writing about a whole lot more. Plus, how it’s good to entertain the hosts so much that they order your book mid-interview.

As we wait for my book to get through the LA Port, I’m on a bunch of Disney podcasts the next few weeks… let’s get it started:

With today being the official release date for my new book, there’s a lot of press out now! The book may be delayed by supply chain issues, but it’s coming!
Happy National Poetry Month! Come out and catch a reading if you can. I’ll be appearing at:
I read with former Nebraska State Poet Twyla Hansen tomorrow night in Kearney. Read about that and my rants on writing poetry in a pandemic here: kearneyhub.com/news/entertainment/explore-social-emotional-landscape-with-state-poet-matt-mason-at-kearney-public-library/
I have three new poems up on Green Mountains Review that are sneak previews of my two upcoming books! One is from my book of Eighties rock poems coming in 2023, the others will be in At The Corner of Fantasy and Main!
Coming this spring! Pre-Order my new book now from The Old Mill Press!
At the Corner of Fantasy & Main: Disneyland, Midlife and Churros is now available to order. Free shipping, autographed, the works! And don’t just take my word:
“Matt Mason thrives at the crossroads of Disney and Whitman. This is page turning poetry that is Walt-to-Walt nostalgia sprinkled with cinnamon-sugared fairy dust. At the Corner of Fantasy and Main is an E- ticket ride back to an age of cinnamon sugar-coated vacation fantasies seen through the Viewmaster with a poet’s perspective. You will want to get back in line to ride these poems again and again.”
Pat Hazell, host of the podcast Creativity in Captivity
“Matt Mason is a true Disneyland fan which shines through in all of his Disneyland poetry. Memories of the Happiest Place on Earth will come flooding back with these witty and nostalgic poems. A must read for any Disneyland fan!”
Kristen Pfeifer, host of the podcast Mousetalgia
