Scott Wannberg (1953–2011) was a poet, a giant presence on the Los Angeles poetry scene for decades, and a legendary bookseller at the old Dutton’s Bookstore in Brentwood. The Scott Wannberg Bookstore and Poetry Lounge is named in his honor, and in gratitude for his long connection to Beyond Baroque.
