  1. Marcus Boon

    I am a writer, journalist and Associate Professor in the English Literature department at York University, Toronto. I'm also a member of that university's Social and Political Thought program. For 2011-12, I will be a Fellow at Cornell University's Society for the Humanities, working with a group on "Sound: Culture, Theory, Practice, Politics."

    I grew up in London to English and German parents and came of age during the punk era, turned on by hearing "Anarchy in the UK" on pirate radio one night in a bedroom in the suburbs, and by a recording of John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things", also heard in that same bedroom. I studied English literature at University College London, while writing reviews for the New Musical Express, DJing warehouse parties, and making trips to New York where I encountered the splendorous world of NYC hiphop, graffiti, Afrika Bambaataa, electro and other dance scenes.

  5. Kelly Writers House

    Founded in 1995 by a group of students, faculty, staff and alumni, the Kelly Writers House is an actual 13-room house at 3805 Locust Walk on Penn's campus that serves as a center for writers of all kinds from Penn and the Philadelphia region at large. Each semester the Writers House hosts approximately 150 public programs and projects--poetry readings, film screenings, seminars, web magazines, lectures, dinners, radio broadcasts, workshops, art exhibits, and musical performances--and about 500 people visit the House each week. They work, write, and collaborate in seminar rooms, a publications room, the "hub" office, a cozy living room, a dining room, a kitchen with plenty of space for conversation, and "the Arts Cafe," the wonderfully open south-facing room that was originally the parlor. Writers House also has a strong virtual presence. Our ongoing interactive webcasts give listeners from across the country the opportunity to talk with writers such as Ian Frazier, Richard Ford, and Cynthia Ozick. And via our dozens of listservs and email discussion groups, we link writers and readers from across the country and around the world.
