Advanced Praise for STAY AT POEM DAD

I challenge you to find a human being half as dedicated to literary dexterity as Scottt. This book is a Rubik’s Cube trapped in a Russian Doll made out of an Origami Swan.

Kyle Rapps, Co-Founder of Mayhem Poets

Scottt Raven approaches his life and art with exploration, improvisation, playfulness, and a radically open mind and heart. It shows in his dazzling poetry collection about his first year of fatherhood. Unflinching in its depiction of joys, anxieties, gross-outs, and all those uncomfortable topics every parent dreads having to tell a child, from war to terror to suicide, it’s a gripping verse diary of a father’s encounters with his newborn, channeling Shakespeare and Shel Silverstein.

Adam Klasfeld, MSNBC Legal Contributor, Journalist

Scottt’s poetry shines a light on love, child rearing, and life. As he and his wife raise their son, they marvel at his curiosity, gentleness, and the wisdom he possesses. Bonzai, also known as B. Raven is learning to ‘Be Brave, Be Wild’ and full of courage, love, and hope as he

plays and grows. Scottt’s book has helped me to see deeply the love and delight in a father’s presence and heart as he watches his baby bloom.

A post shared by Scottt Raven (@scotttraven)

At this point feel I’ve written about everything. Well…almost everything, everything but everything itself.

The Everything Bagel includes my thoughts on everything, along with a collection of poetic reflections on family members and friends I have lost along the way. Two of the poems were performed only once, as eulogies and many of the pieces appear here for the first time. I have also included a new Polygon (surrealist poem), updated thoughts on love and Part 3 of Eighteen Edgars.

As you’re reading ask yourself, what’s in your heart, in your head and on your…Everything Bagel?
