Coleman Barks is a big force in bringing Rumi poetry to the west. He sold millions of books of his interpretation of Rumi poetry. He taught poetry and creative writing at the University of Georgia for thirty years. 

david darling 

“Maverick cellist” is the phrase most often assigned to Grammy-winning artist David Darling, but it hardly captures the richness, diversity, breadth and sense of humor of a man who literally redefines the way the cello is played and the way music is taught.
