After graduating from Ben Davis University High School, they moved to Vermont to attend Green Mountain College where they studied poetry and English. Following undergrad, Hunn was accepted to Louisiana State University\u2019s MFA program. Upon arriving, they realized how different their experience was from their peers as an early 20-something-year-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was hard being a baby because how can you stand on what you believe when your frontal lobe isn\u2019t fully developed?\u201d Hunn said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone was like 30 and married and I was 22, in a crop top and like, \u2018I want to write poems.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged towards the end of their first year at LSU, Hunn made the decision to return to Indy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the years since I came home, Indy has been so amazing. All these bookstores that are thriving in the city, juxtaposed with the image of coming home. It really feels like Indy\u2019s at a turning point,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunn credits part of their decision to apply for the Butler MFA program to alumni and previous Writers-in-Residence of the program, whose work they admired.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/08102154\/IMG_5056.png\" alt=\"Kenn Hunn examining books on a shelf in The Whispering Shelf.\" class=\"wp-image-17692\" style=\"width:280px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/08102154\/IMG_5056.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/08102154\/IMG_5056-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a turning point for me as an artist. I did so much running from my city, when the groundwork for me as an artist, me as a poet, was already being built here from where I was from by people like Kaveh [Akbar], Leah [Johnson], and Hanif [Abdurraqib]. I did all that running for no reason. The timing was right\u2013right at that cusp period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunn began in the fall of 2023. At the time, they were teaching 10th grade literature and creative writing. They encouraged their students to work on their own writing projects and poetry chapbooks. Inspired by their students\u2019 work and their Voice and Vision course, taught by poetry professor and Butler Poet-in-Residence Alessandra Lynch, Hunn made the decision to step away from teaching to focus more fully on their writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI knew I had to get myself back. How do I tell someone to follow their dreams when I\u2019ve deferred mine?\u201d they asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When their best friend spotted a job posting for a bookseller at an upcoming bookstore, Hunn immediately applied for the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI usually linger on things, but something was calling me to this space. I think Marlow, our store manager, and Anna, who\u2019s a bookseller like me, we all just felt really drawn to this job no matter how we found out about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owned by Butler alum Lena Burt, The Whispering Shelf offered special days leading up to their grand opening, such as Neighbors Day and Universal Design Day\u2013\u201cto get feedback for how to design our space to be accessible to all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The store\u2019s mission states: \u201cTo provide Indianapolis booklovers access to their next great story or learning opportunity. It is our commitment to promote a love of the written word, to make love of reading accessible to all, and to be intentional about representation, community, and continuous learning and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/08102154\/IMG_5073.png\" alt=\"Kenn Hunn tidying books displayed on a green shelf in The Whispering Shelf.\" class=\"wp-image-17693\" style=\"width:280px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/08102154\/IMG_5073.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/08102154\/IMG_5073-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing I want everyone to understand is that it\u2019s not just a bookstore. It\u2019s not just a place with shelves of books,\u201d said Hunn. \u201cThis is your space. You should come here and work and come to the book clubs and have your first dates, whatever it is. This is that space that we want to curate and it also has books and trinkets for you to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now surrounded by books and a supportive team, Hunn is focusing on building on their skills as a bookseller, as well as the process of submitting their chapbook, \u201cGristle,\u201d for publication. Starting in June, Hunn will host a reading series at The Whispering Shelf. The series\u2019 first reader will be Butler MFA Thomas Kneeland (\u201923).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to the now open bookstore will find a shelf dedicated to books written by Butler MFA students, alumni, and current or former professors\u2013curated by Hunn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a really special thing about the Butler shelf,\u201d they said. \u201cHolding those books in my hands, I know that there\u2019s room for me in this stack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow The Whispering Shelf on Facebook and Instagram: @thewhisperingshelf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Kenn Hunn on Instagram:\u00a0@vicepresidentkenn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"footer-contact alignfull\" >\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__wrapper grid-default\">\n\n\t\t\t<header class=\"footer-contact__headline t-d3\">Contact Us<\/header>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__columnHeader\">MFA in Creative Writing<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__columnContent wysiwyg__content\"><p>Efroymson Center for Creative Writing<br \/>\n530 West Hampton Dr.<br \/>\nIndianapolis, IN 46208<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tel\">317-940-8733<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__columnHeader\">Program Co-Directors<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__columnContent wysiwyg__content\"><p><a href=\"mailto:bfurunes@butler.edu\">Bryan Furuness<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:bberkowitz@butler.edu\">Bryce Berkowitz<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__columnHeader\">Program Manager<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"footer-contact__columnContent wysiwyg__content\"><p><a href=\"mailto:mdunn1@butler.edu\" aria-label=\"To make this website accessible to screen reader, Press combination of alt and 1 keys.
