Scott Burnam’s affliction with poetry began when, as a stage actor in college, he grew tired of mouthing others’ words. More than thirty years later, he remains grateful for the analog escape that this old affliction provides from the digital world where he works and into which we increasingly vanish.
A native upstate New Yorker, Scott now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, after a 17-year transformation in Ohio’s Miami Valley, where he met his wife and they raised two of their three children (the third being a work-in-progress about to burst into his teens in the Sun Valley).
Years ago, he was published enough to be a bit proud and has renewed the search to place his best pieces.
