I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a book of reveries, of failed elegies, of “the last time that things were real” and the moments that come afterward. These are dream songs for an age of insomnia, where the poet is always awake “at that oddest hour / that does not end, / the crooked, unnumbered one” and the future seems to be “just the past in a suit / that will never be in style.” Yet dreams in Matthew Zapruder’s poems are also a place of possibility, of reality envisioned anew—sleep shows us not merely what the world is, but what it could be.

God is speaking to us all! Are we listening? He chooses to speak to us in various forms. In this book it is in poetic form. His message is in the poems… Poetry is the heart singing, it comes from deep within. When you hear these words of love, they really come from Him.

The who, what, where, when, why, and how of your life, of my life, of anyone’s life. Whenever I pick up medications at the pharmacy, I’m asked, “Do you have any questions?” If it's someone new, I give the response, “Only existential ones, and we have to answer those for ourselves.” A philosopher, a physician, a recovering addict, a poet, a dreamer, a believer.

These are a collection of new poems and some poems taken from the vault of Timothy Paul Brown. As usual they express the trials and tribulations, the glory and the pain, the grandiosity and obsession, the paranoid deluded thinking that come with having a paranoid schizophrenic disability. There is so much intensity and passion exhibited in this work of art. The author will take you to places you have never been in mind and spirit. You will feel empathy and compassion probably some sympathy. But these poems are not meant to make its listeners feel sorry for the author.

This is a poem that does not rhyme, because life-changing moments do not rhyme, or fit perfectly in order. Each line of the 22-line poem, conveys a multitude of lived experiences, and is stacked like the title for emphasis. To sit with the title (without even opening the book), and the question it prompts, would be more than enough - to jump start a shift in perception about the pathways of life, where we intersect at heart and meet for a virtual cup of tea.
