After a long hiatus, I am returning to Writing.com, to which I owe a great debt for teaching me about how to write poems. I've published over a hundred poems in journals including in First Things, National Review, Cricket, Highlights for Children, Light, and Measure, and have recently published my first collection of poems, Pumpkin Chucking through Able Muse Press. I am a Nemerov prize winner, and several times a finalist. I'm eager to work with poets who want to work with meter and rhyme. http://www.amazon.com/Pumpkin-Chucking-Poems-Stephen-Scaer/dp/1927409128
