The University of Pennsylvania will host Samuel R. Delany, Eileen Myles and Matthew Weiner as Kelly Writers House fellows during the spring 2016 semester. 

The program offers young and aspiring writers opportunities to interact with Fellows, who are renowned authors, writers, writer-critics and poets, at evening readings and informal teaching sessions. Students enrolled in the Writers House Fellows Seminar will study the works of all three Fellows in the course taught by Al Filreis, English professor and Writers House faculty director.

Delany, an experimental science fiction writer, literary critic, commentator on sexuality and society and advocate of collaborative urban life will visit Penn Feb. 15-16.

Myles has produced more than 20 volumes of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, plays and performance pieces through her career.  She will be at Penn March 21-22.

Weiner, the creator, writer and producer of “Mad Men,” will be on campus April 25-26. Weiner was also the writer of the final two seasons of “The Sopranos.”

During each Fellow’s visit, a reading will take place at Kelly Writers House, 3805 Locust Walk, on Monday at 6:30 p.m., and a brunch will be held Tuesday at 10 a.m. followed by a one-hour public interview and conversation. Attendance for each program is by reservation only.
