In addition to editing text books for four+ years, Scott Oury taught writing at a number of colleges over a 36 year career in education, enjoying (almost) every minute of it. He has written occasional pieces, more than a hundred poems, and published articles on composition, literature, as well as pieces advocating for adjunct teaching professionals. In addition he has authored a hundred and thirty two journals (and still counting), writing that brings to the fore again and again the pleasure of putting pen to paper.
