Scott Krieger is a poet, novelist, and designer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His work explores how memory, weather, and invention braid through the human condition—how language itself behaves like a kind of architecture, shaping what it shelters. 

He is the author of the novel Illyrian Fugue. Krieger’s poems are rooted in the Great Lakes region, where he is active in the local arts community through the Grand River Poetry Collective and its publishing imprint, Grand River Poetry Press. 

A builder by trade and temperament, he can often be found studying the quiet persistence of things. Certain Lightnings gathers poems written from that charged space between making and being made.
