Sara Coehlo praises the Kelly Writers House
Sara Coehlo (C' 00) who was a member of the Writers House Fellows Seminar
2000, the group who met Robert Creeley, Grace Paley, and John Edgar Wideman
The organization of the Writers House Fellows seminar
was perfect: it was a small group of self-selected people who gave
of themselves by participating--in and out of class. This dynamic made my
learning (in terms of understanding how the text is operating and the
larger social considerations raised by the author) increase exponentially.
I had twenty teachers for one class--the best student/teacher ratio I've
encountered at Penn!
