by Cameron Keller Scott (Author)

Winner of the 2016 Blue Light Book Award "Cameron Scott writes like a river... his is the language of water and gravity, the silence of an empty desert basin, the smell of sage on cool mornings. The Book of Cold Mountain is a place where words on a page become a porcupine on the road or dandelion seeds in the wind. And these things, these tangible, familiar things, become something more visceral: desire, hope, longing; truths you recognize but have never been able to articulate... ." -Dylan Tomine, Author of Closer to the Ground Cameron Keller Scott graduated from the University of Arizona with an MFA in poetry. Most recently he has worked for Chiloquin Visions in Progress and Fishtrap as a writer in residence, as well as helping to implement Fishtrap Story Lab (www.fishtrap.org).
