Curriculum
Students at the Kerouac School are encouraged to take classes across an open genre curriculum, thus enabling a personal development of the creative writing process and style by challenging the notion of generic art. The school creates a space for radical exploration and experimentation while cultivating contemplative and experimental writing practices and original and innovative approaches to literature. The Summer Writing program at the school gathers over 60 guest faculty to a colloquium of workshops, lectures, and readings. The aim of the Summer Writing program is to foster an intensely creative environment for students to develop their writing projects in conversation with a community of notable writers. The school currently has three fully funded fellowships: the Anne Waldman, Allen Ginsberg, and Anselm Hollo graduate fellowships awarded annually to students in graduate instructor positions.
Influences
In When I Was Cool: My Life at the Jack Kerouac School (2004), Sam Kashner wrote an account of his time as the first student of the school.
