Scott Caputo artfully explores the overarching metaphor of the bridges in our lives -- to foreign destinations, new jobs, family homes, courtship and marriage, fatherhood, spiritual peace. Nestled within this engaging landscape are a number of ekphrastic and humorous poems that both illuminate and surprise. This collection is a love song to life.

Originally from Salem, Oregon, Scott Caputo has had a life-long love affair with writing poetry and creating games. His first book of poetry, Holy Trinity of Chiles, was published by Blue Light Press in 2010. His work has appeared in Red Rock Review, Ruah, Haight Ashbury Literary Journal, and Saranac Review. He also has five published board games, including V�lusp�, based on the Nordic epic poem of the same name. He currently resides in Newark, California, with his wife and two sons.

Review

“Scott Caputo celebrates love and family and illuminates them like a Vermeer painting. These poems are filled with innocence, spiritual quest, loneliness, then suddenly dazzling humor. Caputo is that rare poet weaving stories that capture us, without confusion, in the flow that steps outside of time. This book is a gem.”

— Lynne Barnes, Eric Hoffer Award Finalist and Author of

Falling into Flowers.

“In his second collection of poems, Scott Caputo’s work has gotten stronger and deeper. In “What Can Be Held,” he explores the enigma of marriage. “until she is only a grain of a person / under the wings of the parachute. . . . I can feel that holding her / is like trying to hold the ocean.” The honesty in this book is relentless. “Memories of a Preemie,” for which he is receiving a Pushcart Nomination, gave me goosebumps and brought tears. All of the poems in this book have depth and vision.”

— Diane Frank, Author of Canon for Bears and Ponderosa Pines
