Biography
Scully attended Roman Catholic grammar and high schools. He was a beneficiary of the post–World War II economic expansion, including tuition-free access to a local teachers college. In 1964, supported by a National Defense Fellowship, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut.[1][circular reference]
Recently he published a journal of impressions, incorporating historical information following a visit to the
former Yugoslavia. This was published originally in Serbian
translation. Azul Editions published the English language text: Vagabond Flags: Serbia & Kosovo (2009).
Angel in Flames: Selected Poems & Translations 1967-2011 is the most recent of eleven books of poems. A collection of critical essays, Line Break: Poetry As Social Practice (1988) was reissued in 2005 with a foreword by
Quechua texts or songs teased from Spanish translations. He was the founding editor of the Art on the Line series published by Curbstone Press
: booklets of essays and interviews by 20th century artists and writers speaking to where their art and their social engagement interact.
