Before there were kingdoms, quests, and ancient legends, there were moments.
A conversation at the kitchen table.
A father teaching his child.
A memory carried across decades.
A quiet morning that somehow stays with us for the rest of our lives.
In The World Sideways: Poems, Scott Hertzog reflects on family, faith, marriage, memory, teaching, rural Pennsylvania, and the ordinary experiences that shape who we become. By turns thoughtful, humorous, nostalgic, and deeply personal, these poems invite readers to pause and see the familiar world from a different angle.
Originally published as Encounters and extensively revised for this edition, the collection brings together both beloved and new poems that explore the beauty, sorrow, wonder, and grace hidden within everyday life.
Whether reflecting on childhood, relationships, work, loss, or the passage of time, Hertzog's poems celebrate the moments that often go unnoticed until we realize they have become part of our story.
Perfect for readers who enjoy accessible contemporary poetry, reflective writing, and poems rooted in family, place, and lived experience.
This special edition includes a hand-signed bookplate from the author and may be personalized upon request.
