About this listen

Throughout the summer of 2024, Helen was Poet in Residence at Sunniside in Sunderland. And in January, she launched a pamphlet of the poetry she wrote during that residency. Woohoo!

From the night’s buzzing open mic we have an untitled piece by Jack Wallace-Hunter, Table Water by Lizzie Lovejoy, a wee rap by Donald Jenkins, and Unhappily Married by Nina Mackie. Plus, from Helen’s pamphlet, we have Sunniside Up, Half of this is not Law, and What Do We Make in Sunderland Now?

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to support Helen’s launch event, to all of our many contributors, and to Pop Recs for being the best venue for spoken word in the city.

Until next time, toodle-oo!

King Ink's podcast is hosted by Helen Wilko and produced by James Whitman.
