Matthew Morrison duikt met zijn literaire werk in complexe ideeën, waarbij een diepgaand begrip van filosofie door zijn verhalen heen weeft. Zijn toneelstukken, geproduceerd op prominente Britse podia, tonen een talent voor dramatische verhalenkunde en scherpe dialogen. Naast het toneel verrijkt Morrison het publieke debat door zijn bijdragen aan radioprogramma's, waarbij hij vaak put uit zijn filosofische inzichten en vertelvaardigheden. Zijn veelzijdige schrijftalent, dat ook scenario's voor comedyshows omvat, maakt hem tot een onderscheidende stem in de hedendaagse literatuur.

This is collection of all of the poems I have written in my life so far. My poetry, as you will see is an outlet for my emotions. It has helped me to keep my head on straight throughout a life with no father figure. A life that was smothered in drugs and alcohol and not the best peers. I have finnaly recovered and as you will see the poetry will become more bright and vivid as the book goes on. It starts out as a somewhat dark and gets bright, so I encourage children to read this and use writing as a tool in their lives to help them through troubling times. It works, and it feels great to look back and see how much you have improved over twenty years.

A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.
