By:
Shirley Clay Scott is a scholar of literary romanticism, and she was the former head of the Western Michigan University English Department--that is where I knew her. She later became Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Southern Illinois University and then Hunter College. She kindly joined a group of us at H House to share some stories about loving and living with literature and its writers.
Shirley read us a Ruth Stone poem called "Emily Dickinson."
In attendance at the recording were some of Shirley's students and former WMU faculty and graduates, whom you will hear asking her questions or making comments. including: Prof. Lisa Durose, Prof. Thomas Bailey, Prof. Katherine Joslin, and fiction writers Lisa Lenzo and Tamara Skidmore. Also on the recording are fiction writer Andy Mozina and naturalist Sass Havilar.
Shirley was born in 1939, and she currently lives with her son near Kalamazoo, Michigan.
