Poets’ Corner .003: a King Ink x Sunderland Lit & Phil Society collaboration

Poets’ Corner .003: May 2025

Poet’s Corner is kinda like a poetry book club, except you don’t need to buy a book, meaning it’s extra mint.

This month, we’re meeting at The Bridge Hotel Vaults to chat The Beats, and you’re invited!

"The Beats" refers to the Beat Generation, a literary movement and countercultural phenomenon that emerged in the post-World War II United States. It was a group of writers, most notably Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, who challenged mainstream culture, explored existential themes, and experimented with new literary styles.

Please let us know on the event page if you are coming- it’ll be great to have an idea of numbers!
