"Matt Kirkpatrick loves words and images and the crazy chemistry between them. Reading LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT is like watching a circus act where humans fling themselves gorgeously from increasingly fantastic heights: you think uh-oh and wowee and yes yes yes."
"Matthew Kirkpatrick's new book is outstanding. The stories in LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT are taut, formally inventive forays into the soft, fragile core of families. Kirkpatrick's language is sharp and severe, but beneath the disciplined voice is a writer looking to reveal the most difficult feelings. An extraordinary debut by an ambitious new writer."
