He currently lives and writes in Albany, NY.

Dan Wilcox notes on his blog about Klane’s reading:

Matthew Klane, in contrast to Rebecca [Schumejda], read many little poems & he read them from a stack of little pieces of paper held in the palm of his hand. Most, if not all, had titles but if I tried to write all the titles down I would’ve missed the poems. They are satirical political, sociological analysis/critiques of pop culture & news, stories. They are quirky, often humorous & full of the word-play of a natural-born punster.

Thank you!
