SCOT EHRHARDT lives in Baltimore with his wife and two children. His first collection of poetry, One of Us Is Real, received polite nods. His work appears in Little Patuxent Review, Tidal Basin Review, Lines + Stars, Switchgrass Review, and The Baltimore Anthology. He supervises two journals for young writers--Lexophilia and The Mill, and teaches literature and creative writing in Montgomery County, Maryland, where his students design escape rooms. He used to collect architectural salvage, refurbish furniture, silkscreen clothing, breakdance, and make all sorts of art. But now he is tired and less interesting.

Review by Laura Shovan, MD Poet-in-Residence: "One of Us Is Real is a book of mythic poems, filled with larger-than-life characters who inhabit the long empty houses and music-filled cities of memory. In poet Scot Ehrhardt’s capable hands, the masks, stories, and half-truths we know about the past are pulled aside, word by word, to reveal fallible people made of blood and bone...an inventive portraitist with a deep understanding of how people and places are drawn and redrawn in memory, the truth shifting with each retelling like 'a silver photograph of the sky, inverse,/ creased endlessly by the wind.'" |
