Neal Bowers (born Larry Neal Bowers, August 3, 1948 in Clarksville, Tennessee) is an American poet, novelist, memoirist, and scholar.
His regular courses included creative writing and modern and contemporary poetry.
[1] As the victim of a bizarre and relentless literary thief, Bowers made a stand for intellectual property and the deeply personal nature of the creative process at a time when fewer and fewer scholars and writers believed in either.
Neal Bowers and his wife, Nancy, have lived in the same house in Ames, Iowa, for thirty years.
In younger days, they traveled extensively but are now content to pursue their various writing projects with the assistance of six special-needs cats.
