Mattias Inghe

A poet, pacifist, journalist and rhetorics geek from Stockholm, Sweden who at the age of 28 is just emerging from his fifth midlife crisis. He has an almost perverse fascination with the phonetics of languages and the rhythm of written text. He sometimes likes to make up words, which he then uses as if everyone should know what they mean. This confuses people. Confused people are fun to be around.

Jennifer met Mattias while writing at an on-line forum where they worked within the community to develop their poetry. During a writing challenge, the two poets agreed to merge their talents, collectively creating the pieces presented at Admit 2.

They remain friends, sharing a propensity at writing stream-of-conscious poetry, and hope to write collaboratively in the future.
