Matthew McConaughey hits the road for ‘Poems & Prayers’ book tour: Dates, venues, and more explored

After announcing the release of 'Poems & Prayers' last month, Matthew McConaughey is officially hitting the road to celebrate the launch of the said book. The book tour is set to kick off on September 16 in Brooklyn and will see McConaughey reciting poetry while jamming to some music.

Matthew McConaughey also has a pedigree as an accomplished author, as is evidenced by his work in his last bestselling book, "Greenlights." The news of the upcoming ‘Poems & Prayers’ Revival Tour was confirmed by the actor through an Instagram post, where he stressed the significance of the book:

"Poems & Prayers is more than a book. It’s a memory — a place where we can rediscover what we’ve lost, celebrate what remains and maybe even leave behind what no longer serves us."

He then went on to add:

"I’ve always relied on logic to make sense of myself and the world. A prescriptionist at heart, I’ve always looked to reason to find the rhyme, the practical to get to the mystical, the choreography to find the dance, the proof to get to the truth and reality to get to the dream. I’ve been finding that tougher to do lately. It’s more than hard to know what to believe in; it’s hard to believe. But I don’t want to quit believing, and I don’t want to stop believing in humanity — you, myself our potential."

Dates and venues
