Details:
SCOTT CAWELTI (b.1943) was born and raised in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He taught writing, film, and literature courses at the University of Northern Iowa from 1968-2008, and writes regular opinion columns and reviews for the Waterloo Courier. He has co-authored two writing textbooks and edited The Complete Poetry of James Hearst (University of Iowa Press, 2001). Having a BA in vocal music, he played for years in a folk duo with Robert James Waller and still regularly performs as a singer/guitarist/songwriter. This is his first CD.
JAMES HEARST (1900-1983) was a farmer-poet who was born and raised on a farm in rural Cedar Falls. He taught creative writing at the University of Northern Iowa from 1941 to 1975, and published ten volumes of poetry during his lifetime. He remained connected throughout his life to a large network of poets and students, including Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg. For years he was considered the unofficial poet laureate of Iowa; his poems appeared in Harper''s, The Nation, Saturday Evening Post, among many others. Widely admired as both a teacher and poet, his legacy continues at the James and Meryl Hearst Center for the Arts in Cedar Falls, which was dedicated in 1989.
