More About the Author

I'm the author of the novels MYSTERIOUS SKIN (1995, made into a 2005 film by Gregg Araki); IN AWE (1997), and WE DISAPPEAR (2008), all from HarperCollins / HarperPerennial.

I was born and raised in various small towns in the center of Kansas. I went to the University of Kansas in Lawrence, and moved to New York City in 1991 to get my MFA degree at Columbia University. After 11 years in New York, I moved to Boston in 2002, and that's where I'm currently living.

5.0 out of 5 stars when will he write more poetry?, December 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Saved from Drowning (Paperback)

this book is great! i don't usually read poetry but i like scott heim's fiction, so.... this is nearly as good. i read somewhere that he doesn't write poetry anymore and isn't so happy with this book, but really it's very good and the poems are sexy, sad, and full of great images.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not poetry but prattle, June 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Saved from Drowning (Paperback)

Is Mr. Heim a better novelist than poet? How could he not be? These poems are simpering and should be avoided. For your gay poetry needs I suggest you seek out the small press.
