SAVE The JKS

jack kerouac school of disembodied poetics has been a unique american example of a contemplative learning community for over thirty years. 

the school and its summer writing program hold the experimental approach to community and learning of black mountain university and the buddhist contemplative tradition in close relationship.  

in these ways the kerouac school’s attention to experiment and contemplation sets itself in direct opposition to the hierarchies and claims of mastery of corporate mainstream academy. 

the kerouac school is in danger! even in the midst of its widely loved summer writing program, the university administration is proceeding to drastically alter the mission of the school which, literally at times, built the university.
