Last American Roar is my first published collection of poetry.
Last American Roar focuses on the life of heart heart break, drug abuse and what it means to be a political activist. There are several pieces that focus on the world during the 1990s and the vile hearts of those that seek power. | |  | | Organic Hotels
Organic Hotels is My second collection of published poetry.
"Organic Hotels" a new poetry collection by Matthew Abuelo, looks at modern America through the eyes of a political activist and a maturing artist. It focuses on current events such as the war in Iraq, the sterilization of New York City and disenchantment with the US Government." | |  | | The News Factory
This book is about those parts of New York which have been white washed.
In his new collection of poems and short stories, Matthew Abuelo pays homage to Dexter House, NYC, a SRO he called home for many years. The volume brings to life the strong ties among the tenants of the once affordable housing option in the city: “Will you know the Jerusalem of their hearts?/ those of the Dexter house/ who travel in time/ of fading New York/ not as travelers/ but as pictures…” The residents’ pain of losing their homes seeps through graphic urban imagery: “Do you know the language of the Dexter House?” asks Abuelo.
