Born in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, Matthew Kaberline moved to the suburbs of Washington D.C. when he was five years old. Matthew studied Political Science and English at Virginia Tech, graduating in 2003 with a BA. He is currently pursuing an MFA in poetry at Emerson College, and has a poem forthcoming in Tar River Poetry. An enthusiast of the blues, soul, and Motown, Matthew is working on a sequence of elegies to soul singers including Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, and Otis Redding. He is excited to be published in Fringe and laughs every time he reads their catchphrase. Matthew would like to thank his parents for being so understanding when he turned down that scholarship to law school.
