A review of Pyramid of Fire: The Lost Aztec Codex: Spiritual Ascent at the End of Time by John Major Jenkins and Martin Matz
“Indeed, this book, with the beautiful introduction extracted from the works of Aldous Huxley, might be required reading to those traveling to Margarita Island. Not only does it reveal in initiatory tradition in the past of the same people among whom one is living, the Arimacoa, it signals the loss which this community has & is experiencing.”

A review of Time Waits: Selected Poems 1956 – 1986 by Martin Matz
“Matz at times comes close to reaching the breath-taking heights that Kaufman achieved in his great works of poetry, especially his final work, The Ancient Rain, but there is something distinctive and slightly haunting about his style. It reaches deep into the cosmos (outer space) and also down into the innermost recesses of the poet’s own self (inner space) and the imagery jumps from one luxuriant image to the next, in a psychedelic ‘feast’ of images that coalesce into a whirlwind, a swirling chiaroscuro of colors, like the colors that grace the cover of this book, that build upon each other, and reflect or refract previous images. The effect is both hypnotic and captivating to the reader who is under its spell.”
–Matthew James Mclaughlin
