A charged and lyrical collection exploring how beauty survives through ruin and how the human voice endures in the storm.
Certain Lightnings is a collection of poems that trace the weathered border between the physical and the luminous. From the glacial geology of the Great Lakes to the charged skies of the present moment, Scott Krieger’s poems search the visible world for what endures beyond it.
His voice moves between clarity and mystery, combining precision with reverence for the unfinished. These poems map how beauty persists through ruin, how memory and invention collide, and how the human spirit rises to meet both storm and stillness.
In landscapes shaped by ice, electricity, and time, Krieger finds renewal in what breaks and continues—an elegy, a revelation, a living current.
