This weekend we announced the trio of authors that will be joining us next spring semester for the annual Kelly Writers House Fellows program. While there's much more info to follow in the coming weeks and months, we wanted to share the amazing line-up as soon as possible.
The program works in coordination with an undergrad course in which twenty or so students will read the work of each Fellow and then meet privately with them during that week's three-hour class session. Current UPenn undergrads interested in joining the class should contact KWH Fellows Coordinator Sophia DuRose at sdurose@writing.upenn.edu. In conjunction with the class the public will be able to take part in (either in person or from afar) the traditional Monday evening reading and Tuesday morning interview/conversation with each guest. Limited in-person seating for each event can be reserved by writing to whfellow@writing.upenn.edu.
Our full slate of 2025 Kelly Writers House Fellows will include:
Patti Smith: February 24–25
Carmen Machado: March 31–April 1
Alice Notley: April 28-29
Of course, we'll keep our readers posted with more info as it becomes available. In the meantime, if you'd like to spend a little time some of the wonderful visitors we've had over the past 25 years, you can do so here.
