<p>The Flyfish Journal friend, contributor, fishing guide and poet Cameron Scott  has a new book of poetry out titled The Book Of Ocho. In a review from the Lagrande Observer, Katy Nesbitt writes "Scott's collection of poems are named for Ocho, and orange, lymphomic cat with whom he shares a soul for a time, yet is punctuated with tales of the sun and love and of fishing which keeps Scott's mind agile enough to return to paper with pen to log his experiences. Below is an excerpt on the fishier side of things and since everyone loves cats and cats love fish....-Copi Vojta                                                           Interlude with Ocho and Han Shan                                                                       Every day the road gets more wash boarded,       Ocho gets skinnier, I drive back and forth            from Cold Mountain to town and stand all day                                                               in rivers, chewing gum incessantly, praising        cast after cast, come home and praise the cat,    go to work and praise the cast, come home.      Clients ask the way to Cold Mountain while       hip deep in currents; there's no thought to         carry them there, neither yes nor no as the sun        blazes down through swirling cottonwood seeds.                                                                -Cameron Scott</p>

Book of Ocho

Cameron Keller Scott

<p>"It is not that the mayfly lights upon the water nor is it that the trout is compelled to surface - born of instinct, hunger, and fluid aggression - it is that the memory of such a moment is simultaneously ephemeral and eternal. Cameron Scott knows that the river is both church and time capsule. These poems are spiritual paeans to family and lost friends, the dusk and dawn kiss of nature that resides in our human hearts. Stegner once wrote “no place is a place until it has found its poet.” Perhaps this holds true for fly fishing and the communion of water, wind, family, fish and, of course, humanity. Scott has brought his sport into the ethereal expanses of poetry." Aaron Abeyta received the American Book Award for his collection of poetry "Colcha"</p>
