Seer Shilliness

Matt Pelicano was born and raised in Central New York, the youngest of eight kids. From his youth, Matt has always loved the poetry of Sylvia Plath, E.E. Cummings, Shel Silverstein, TS Eliot, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, and William Shakespeare. His literary heroes include JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Oscar Wilde, Agatha Christie, and David McCullough. At age 10, he pulled an old guitar out of the trash, taught himself to play, and soon began writing lyrics, songs, poetry, short stories and books. A widower, Matt has three grown children, Andy, Joey, and Megan, and splits his time between Upstate South Carolina, Central New York, and traveling.
