About the poet:
Scott Ruescher won the 2016 Write Prize from Able Muse, the 2015 Rebecca Lard Award from Poetry Quarterly, and, in both 2013 and 2014, the Erika Mumford Award for poetry about travel and international culture from the New England Poetry Club. His chapbooks include Sidewalk Tectonics (documenting a road-trip from Lincoln’s birthplace in Hodgenville, Kentucky, to the site of ML King’s assassination in Memphis) and Perfect Memory (documenting more of that same trip as well as adventures in such places as Central Ohio, Central America, and Central Square, Cambridge). For 15 years he has been administrating the Arts in Education program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and teaching part-time in the Boston University Prison Education Program-all while feeling vaguely skeptical about such intimate participation in institutions of higher learning.
