Little Heresies is a rebuke of fundamentalist religion. These poems reexamine the foundational texts that inform today’s major Abrahamic religions through a childhood rooted in the church and a grown, queer perspective—irreverently.
Matthew Ellis (he/him) is a queer poet living in Columbus, Ohio. His first collection, Little Heresies, was published in August 2026 from Wayfarer Books.
