Author John McPhee is among the 2007 participants in one of Kelly Writers House's most well-loved programs.
The winner of a 1999 Pulitzer Prize, McPhee joins Jamaica Kincaid and Donald Hall as next spring's Writers House fellows.
McPhee is the author, most recently, of Uncommon Carriers. He won the Pulitzer for 1998's Annals of the Former World, which chronicles a geologist's trek across the United States.
Students in the Fellows course read works by three authors each spring, and are joined by those authors for discussions at the Writers House.
Last year's participants were Richard Ford, Cynthia Ozick and Ian Frazier.
The program started in 1999, with a grant from Paul Kelly. The course is taught by Writers House Faculty Director Al Filreis, and is open to a small group of undergraduates, usually numbering under 20.
Kincaid is the author, most recently, of Mr. Potter. Hall will be the next U.S. poet laureate and is the author of over 15 books of poetry.
