National Poetry Month Spotlight: Scott Harrison

Send us Fan Mail Peak to Peak local Scott Harrison does not consider himself a poet as most people would define one. He doesn’t make a living out of his poetry and is mostly unpublished. His collection, simply titled Haiku Poetry, which focuses on the animals he carved for the beloved Carousel of Happiness, is available on the carousel’s website (carouselofhappiness.org). Otherwise, though, he primarily enjoys writing poetry for himself and reading poetry of others, including The Mountain-Ear’s own Alexander Shalom Joseph.
