A Tenth Anniversary Celebration of the Kenyon Review Fellowships
Friday, March 25, 2022
9:00 am to 10:15 am
The Kenyon Review Fellowships celebrates its tenth anniversary with a reading and Q&A featuring five current and former fellows. The KR Fellows are a diverse group of younger writers who spend two years at Kenyon College teaching creative writing, working on an individual project, and contributing to the editorial life of the Review. They will gather to read from their recent work and answer questions about the fellowships—the highs and the lows, the good and the bad—from audience members.
