As I write these notes, winter has just barreled into Gambier. The trees are stark and bare, the sky a pale, sere blue. Our students (and, yes, we instructors as well) are yearning for the holiday break. Yet at the Kenyon Review our team is already well advanced in planning the busy schedule of writing and reading programs for the summer ahead.
I think these programs bear mentioning here because they are no longer simply a small, summer side-affair. Instead, our trustees have embraced them as central to the mission of what the Kenyon Review has become: a premier literary arts organization. From simply (simply!) producing a well-regarded print literary journal in decades past, we have expanded dramatically to offer electronic publishing, such as KROnline, a monthly newsletter, podcasts, blogs, and other social media as well. Even more unusual, perhaps, KR has evolved to offer a wide array of innovative writing programs to high school students and adults.
