KL!NK is a community of avid writers and poets. Sometimes when we write, it never sees the light of day again. But other times, pieces are good enough that we decide to pool them together and bundle them up! Twice a year, KL!NK publishes a bundle full of pieces from its members. In general, one of these focuses on poems while the other focuses on short stories.
Four bundles have been published so far, and one is still in the works. The published bundles can be found below. The fifth, upcoming bundle, will be a poetry bundle. The goal with this bundle is to gather as many different languages as possible. Whether you’re an international student who can write in their mother language or a Dutch student who has picked up a language or two, write in whatever language you like! (Of course, Dutch and English are also still allowed).
?(‘Question Mark’)
Question Mark is a mystical bundle of short stories. From hallucinations of the sleep deprived and trickeries with hell to a religious escapade into space and a reflection on life inspired by classical music, “?” has it all.
This bundle is still in sale! If you would like to buy one, ask a board member at a KL!NK activity, ask in the group chat, or send a mail to info@klink-eindhoven.nl.
Hutspot
The third KL!NK bundle is called Hutspot. For the non-Dutch speaking KL!NKers, hutspot is a typical Dutch dish which comes down to: mash a bunch of vegetables & potatoes together and see what comes out. The bundle got this name from a similar kind of hodgepodge of poems, short stories, genres, words and sentences of every kind.

The second KL!NK bundle is a collection of short stories titled “&other stories”. It features 16 stories both in English and in Dutch about a variety of topics.
This bundle is unfortunately sold out, but fear not! As with every KL!NK bundle it can still be found in the KL!NK library.
Blije jongens dichten niet
The very first KL!NK bundle is called “Blije jongens dichten niet”. In English: “Happy boys don’t write poetry” (it sounds better in Dutch). It is, unsurprisingly, a poetry bundle. This one is in Dutch,
