Matt Mason must be declared the poet laureate of the Midwest! No other native son celebrates the overlooked America, its unsung citizens (from the anonymous poets to the part-time English teachers), and its expansive indigenous landscape, as well as he does. Mason's poetry is humorous when he wants to be quirky, heartbreaking when he wants to be eloquent, and though he moves effortlessly into other moods and geographies, he always returns to his first and most enduring love (and to what he knows best)-his homeland.
I think that teachers have the hardest job in the world, and they are the most unsung heroes so much of the time.
Unsung, the noblest deed will die.
The unsung heroes of the civil rights movement were always the wives and the mothers.
Casting directors tend to be the unsung heroes in this business.
The song I came to sing remains unsung to this day. I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument. The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set; only there is the agony of wishing in my heart. . .
I also love Mole, the unsung hero of reality programming.
William Hartnell was one of the great unsung character actors of his time
As soon as someone is identified as an unsung hero, he no longer is.
Our greatest songs are still unsung.
I'm a text artist. It's an unsung art form because it's so ahead of its time.
The Ragamuffin rabble are the unsung assembly of saved sinners who are little in their own sight, conscious of their brokenness and powerlessness before God, and who cast themselves on His mercy. Startled by the extravagant love of God, they do not require success, fame, wealth, or power to validate their worth. Their spirit transcends all distinctions between the powerful and powerless, educated and illiterate, billionaires and bag ladies, high-tech geeks and low-tech nerds, males and females, the circus and the sanctuary.
