About Thousands Flee California Wildflowers:

"Scot Siegel writes from the deep pools of his imagination about subjects on the surface of contemporary life. These are deeply satisfying poems that bring you closer to knowing the lived-in world, the actual world, and the known world in a way only a poet can render. All along the poems come forward in a soulful, endearing, and generous fashion. Here is a poet who knows that the feelings that matter in life need a language that matters -- a language of clarity, vividness, and tenderness."
—David Biespiel

Despite looking back to a world full of potential, the introspective poems are deeply nestled between the future and a present beset with natural calamities, wars, even prospects of aging. Siegel's elegies and reminiscences move with chiaroscuro realism that echoes his own words: There is no such thing as light / poetry--A shaft of darkness / runs through everything--"
