MOUNT VERNON — A former professor from Alaska who performs nationwide as a fiddling poet makes a stop at Cornell College on Wednesday, March 2, at 8 p.m. in Hedges Conference Room of The Commons. Admission is free.
Ken Waldman combines old-time fiddling, original poetry and storytelling. His two full-length poetry collections are “Nome Poems,” about his two years teaching writing courses by telephone to students in remote Alaska villages, and “To Live on this Earth,” featuring poems about Alaska plus old-time music and dance. His three CDs are “A Week in Eek,” “Burnt Down House” and “Music Party.”
Waldman’s appearance is part of Cornell’s ongoing Visiting Writer Series sponsored by the English department.
