In a Gift From Adam and Finding My Way Out of a Mental Breakdown

by Scott Vanya ...

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 parents), I needed some footing to the Reality that was apparent to all those around me. My best ... Read more

Play! Play! Play! And Play Some More!-A Children Story Collection

by Scott Vanya ...

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 Stories are those that satisfy our Childish Self. Whether this be myths, fables, parables, etc., etc., the ... Read more

Too Much, Not Enough

by Scott Vanya ...

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". This is because the language, themes, and perspectives, gathered from divorce, job-loss, etc., are the most ... Read more

Conception of a Child

by Scott Vanya ...

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 to haiku and the flower paintings of O'Keefe.These poems have always held a dear and tender spot in my ...

Setting My Spirit Free

by Scott Vanya ...

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 over into the space that is The Soul of All Persons, I realized that beyond love, which is prone to falling-out-of, ...

Once Upon This Time

by Scott Vanya ...

I have always been fascinated by the short story form. The way in so few words authors are able to communicate so much. And in only a brief, few minutes read, we are able to see, know, and feel the characters. It reminds me of haiku: a brief moment of clarify and insight.An avid reader of Steinbeck, Borges, and Calvino, when I write stories, I do not necessarily "write" them so much as take ... Read more

Conduits of the Sublime

by Scott Vanya ...

I have been working, feeling, seeing in recent months the infinitesimal boundary between ourself and the sublime. And like Xeno's paradox, the oh-so-thin veneer DOES disappear. And then and only then do true poems come out.All the writing I have ever done, is just a means of wearing away that layer: being ever closer to the moment, the moment that does not end.And if these poems are conduits to ...

CarryAway Seeds

by Scott Vanya ...

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 in a small journal, to see what the result might be, objectively like a scientist (much of my education is ...

My Body is a Forest-Oak/Torso

by Scott Vanya ...

Background: Five years or so passed after the production of "Revelation" (my first best of), so upon leaving my house and concluding my divorce, I felt it was time (and I was able to) step back and put together books of all the poems that really mattered to me. So I printed copies of all of them (over 1000 poems (leaving about another 900 for which I had no digital copies)) and began to edit and ... Read more

My Body is a Forest-Pecan/Head

by Scott Vanya ...

Continuing with the idea, that "I" am an indistinguishable whole, no more capable of preferring nor being rid of any one limb or body part over another, I put together-My Head or Pecan.If this book, of the set, represents anything more than anything else, it would be the cerebral poems, those laced with the metaphysical, as opposed continuing the analogy, My Torso or Oak, representing my heartfelt ...

Revelation

by Scott Vanya ...

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 part of a few months going through all my work to get the ones I thought were my favorites and ones she would like. ... Read more
