Scott Vanya: 21 books

After learning how to "adore" (through my knowledge of my love for my children, that I would NEVER change any moment of my past, because I would never want to change anything about them) and that "to adore" a person means to step into the space that is a person and thereby cross...

The work I was doing exploring Emptiness, as the holiness that projects out through us into this space The Earth, produced many, many poems of a similar nature: The OSMOSIS Poems. The collected books, in four parts, spans, that period and encompasses large portions of 2012 and 2013. No attempt is...

Dedicated to my (specifically and all in general) children, who while not making the joy-ney worth taking, have made it a heck of a lot more fun. Hugs and Endless Joy. Peace. It has been my long standing feeling, from a very young (writerly) age that (if this can be said at all) the Truly Best...

The OSMOSIS Poems - writings from within and out of The Dream - Part 2 The work I was doing exploring Emptiness, as the holiness that projects out through us into this space The Earth, produced many, many poems of a similar nature: The OSMOSIS Poems. The collected books, in four parts, spans,...

The trilogy of books, Too Much/Not Enough, Might As Well Fly Away, and Cuz Somewhere Along The Line I Forgot My Self, are all drawn from a very sincere and heart-felt place, as has been all my work. Yet, and I think I am not alone in this, these 3 books, might be said to be my most "mature"....

As a person, evolves, at least it is my sincere and most deeply felt hope, he or she begins to realize and manifest an ever broader and more encompassing sense of peace and love. At least that is my hope and how it has happened to me. As I have experienced more life, living and loving my love for...

In 1990 I had my first of three mental (schizoaffective) breakdowns (the other in 1991 and 1993) and signed myself into a mental hospital for what would turn out to be a long stay. Very confused and basically in the dark about everything that was going on (having been taken there by my brother and...

As I see it, and as I saw it as I was putting together/writing the poems in this book, it is a poet's job, whether vocation or avocation, to open himself up as wide as possible spiritually, emotionally, and most importantly linguistically so that he may be "peered thru". Poems can be kaleidoscopic...

For a while, I had been writing (by hand) in large journals, by that I mean inches (height-by-width). And I noticed, my lines would stretch on, and my ideas would bend and shape and curve around the page, my audience, and my mind. So taking it as a challenge/experiment, I set myself to working...

As a young man, in the first years of college, I was fascinated by simple beauties. As I have grown my experiences and life problems&solutions have grown broader and more complex (as is represented in my later works). This collection is from about 1986-1988 and harkens to a simpler time, similar...

There is something inside me which predates me. There is something outside me which will end after I do. Yet Here, in the Middle, the Eternal Inside You and the Eternal Inside I can meet hold hands and rejoice in that. Peace and Love Outlasting. Glad we are in this time and space together.

In the last three of four years, I have come to realize the metal of a man is not in so much what he earns, nor how his daily bread is spent, but rather in how much he stands up for his ideals and how well he abides by them. This book as the other two books released simultaneously, Might As Well Fly...

In around 1997 while working for a Texas state agency a dear friend of mine asked to see some of poetry. I told "I have more than I can show you after writing for 20 years." She said, "Well, pick out the best ones and show me those." So I took her at her word, and spent the better...
