So not only did you teach me about writing memoir, you also taught me about reading and thinking about how others write memoir. Thank you so much! Rebecca

I am glad to see Scott Owens, poet, is back online with a website and blog.


I remember when I first met Scott. I had read some of his poetry on the Dead Mule School of Southern Literature site. I liked his work, so I contacted him and asked if I might publish his poetry on our NCWN-West blog.
He agreed, and from then on we were friends. He came to Western NC every year and taught poetry classes. He taught a great class last year in Hiawassee, Georgia. All of us in the class learned more about writing poetry, and we had a good time while learning. 

Scott has published over 20 poetry books, including a poetry book for children. He also did a Meet and Greet and answered questions about himself and poetry for NCWN-West. Everyone enjoyed that event.
