Besides being the author of three collections of award-winning poetry, Scott Hightower has had his poems and reviews appear regularly in journals throughout the country. He is a contributing editor at The Journal and Barrow Street, and routinely reviews for Coldfront Magazine. He has received a residency from Valparaiso, Mojácar, Spain; the 2004 Copper Canyon Press Hayden Carruth Award for New and Emerging Poets; an Academy of American Poets University Prize (while attending Columbia); and multiple Pushcart Prize nominations. His fundamental interest is the practice of writing intrinsic to all genres: literary journalism, poetry, creative nonfiction, fiction; and its pedagogy.
