Scott King is the founder and editor of Red Dragonfly Press. He is the author of several books of poetry, most recently All Graced in Green and Dragonfly Haiku (w/ Ken Tennessen), and translator of books by Greek poet Yannis Ritsos and Persian poet Fereydoun Faryad. In recent years he has begun writing natural history, publishing a series of volumes of field notes about dragonflies and a guidebook to the wasps and bees of Minnesota.
In 2017, Scott King set himself the challenge of submitting at least one observation to an online, citizen science database each day of the year. These daily observations consisted of photos and a journal entry. The 365 journal entries were subsequently published as Following the Earth Around: Journal of a Naturalist’s Year (Thistlewords Press, 2019). He has numerous writing projects in progress but hopes to finish a revision of Dragonflies and Damselflies of Minnesota: Atlas and Annotated Checklist (Thistlewords Press, 2018) and publish his decade-long project Meadowhawks: A Natural History of the Red Dragonflies. A lifetime resident of Minnesota, he currently resides in Northfield. Books by Scott King
