From the Author
My poetry is rooted in nature and grounded in what Robert Hass called the "strong central tradition of free verse made out of both romanticism and modernism, split between the impulses of an inward and psychological writing and an outward and realist one, at its best fusing the two." (Hass, Introduction to Best American Poetry 2001)
I studied with Hass and with Gary Snyder, along with the late Walter Pavlich, and received some great mentoring and advice from poets Alison Hawthorne Deming, Donald Hall, Colette Inez, and Karen Swenson, as well as wonderful friends and readers.
My poetry is informed by a deep engagement with the natural world, attuned to the smallest details and complexities of nature and our experience of place. Attentiveness and mindfulness are critical to my method of working, both as the poem first evolves and later, through the often rigorous process of revision.
I believe poetry is the most direct language with which to approach our place in the world and reconnect us to nature. By nature, I mean not only the natural world, but also the built environment; not only the processes and causal powers of the physical world, but our immediate experience of the spiritual and the non-human.
For the past twenty five years, I have been building a body of poetry that tries to achieve my goal of writing that is open, approachable, and eminently readable, at the same time that it is intellectual and revels in the joy of language.�
FALLOW FIELD�represents the best of my poetry over the past quarter century. I hope you enjoy it.--Scott Edward Anderson
From the Back Cover
"Scott Edward Anderson's poems honor the reality that the things of the world - rye grass, fall warblers, ravens, owls, 'Sargassum drifting/ in a pelagic wave,' lovers and sourdough bread - speak to and for our innerness. Here the sense of place is not simply a matter of geography, but of feeling one's way into that sense of becoming that makes one's path clear. The book's fourth section is comprised of poems that beautifully embrace the very human need to join the inner and outer, a territory defined, as the poem titles suggest, by 'Becoming,' 'Shapeshifting,' 'Cultivating,' 'Mapping,' and 'Healing.' Guided since childhood, as the book's closing long poem relates, by nature's teaching, Anderson is devoted to finding the words for what it means to dwell mindfully among others on the wounded earth."�--Alison Hawthorne Deming, author of�Rope: Poems
"I was impressed by Anderson's engagement with nature -- especially the way in which his lyrical lines sketch the profound relationship between humans and their environment."�

Bringing Life to Harvest
By Glynn Young
A field lies fallow usually for one of two reasons. Either the farmer is allowing the land some time off, or the field is experiencing some kind of neglect. Or perhaps it’s been put to other uses, like a graveyard for a rusted automobile, a cemetery for memories and failures. In that case, the field assumes an air of rejection, barrenness and abandonment, like when a marriage fails.
Let Scott Edward Anderson tell the story of “Fallow Field:”
The old car is there,
where she left it,
our by the old shed,
breeding rust—obscured
from the roadway by the rye grass
that grows up all around.
Long triangular tentacles
blowing and bending
in the hot breeze, as
sunlight filters
through gathering clouds.
By now the grass has worked
up into the engine block.
The car
is planted now,
in this fallow field,
awaiting bulldozers.
They call this grass
“poverty grain,” and there’s
no small comfort in the fact
that it’s as tolerant
of poor soils
as she was of her marriage.
On the day she left,
she packer her whole life
into an old grip: clothing,
framed photographs
of the children, her parents,
the salt cellar she’d bought
on her honeymoon in Rome.
While packing, she’d given
pause that her whole life
had become so
portable, where once there’d
been permanence. And now,
she blows and bends—
rye grass on a midsummer afternoon.
It’s title poem of Anderson’s new collection of poems, "Fallow Field." Like many of the poem in the collection, “Fallow Field” is rooted in nature and about nature but also about something else, something closer to hand – memory, marriage, relationships, imagination, even poetry. Geographically, the poems are diverse – set in the Midwest, Vermont, New York State, Alaska, the prairie of Oklahoma – but they’re all centered within the poet’s tight control.
Many of the poems have been previously published in poetry and literary journals, and so to bering them together in a volume like this is to allow a glimpse of how a poet and his poems have developed over time. It’s also helpful to pay some attention to Anderson’s blog, The Green Skeptic. He’s had an interesting career in business, and is currently the global marketing director for cleantech at Ernst & Young. His poems and his business vision spring from the same source.
It’s easy to like these poems. They read easily and well. They are about familiar things. And yet they do what good poetry should do, and that’s to provide a different view, an unexpected perspective, taking the familiar and bathing it in unfamiliar shades and colors. Anderson even includes a bit of unvarnished biography in the two concluding poems of the volume, “the Poet Gene” and “The Postlude, or How I Became a Poet.”
Anderson’s poems have appeared in such journals and magazines as the Alaska Quarterly Review, American Poetry Review, and Nebraska Review. He’s also the author of "Walks in Nature’s Empire: Exploring the Nature Conservancy’s Preserves in New York State." (He also wrote the foreword to my just-published book, Poetry at Work.)
"Fallow Field" is just like that field set aside, waiting for the reader to apply some mental tillage, and cut through soil to create life, life brought to harvest in poetry.

Poems of Naturalistic Awareness
By Alexander U. Conrad
An impressive collection of poems that speak to the rhythm of our association with the natural world. These poems evoke a sense of place wrought from a naturalistic awareness stretching beyond mere physical presence.
