Books by Scott Hightower

"Truly a cabinet of curiosities, each poem a collage of surprising or remembered details, opening onto further marvels. The effect is vertiginous-and exhilarating. Scott Hightower has Marianne Moore's scissors and Elizabeth Bishop's spectacles, and he has written a book in the spirit of their adventurous precisions." J. D. McClatchy

The poems in this volume draw from a legacy larger than the limits of personal history, body and brand. They reflect a world that contains AIDS and cancer, and Caravaggio and van der Werff. Nature, interpersonal relationships, and the cultures of the world are all fair game.
