Indigo Kinsella/i.n.k. (xe/xem; it/its) is a poet, baker, and mischief maker creating in the Greater Boston area.
Intro
In xyr writing, i.n.k. explores the incredulous nature of indoctrination through its intersecting identities. Xe love public transit, tattoos, and making playlists emotively. On this site you can find links to i.n.k.’s previously published work as well as stay up to date on xyr upcoming writing goals, events, and projects. Xe hope you grab a pen and stick around a while.
Work
As a second generation adoptee and queer/agender person, i.n.k. has found the re-circling of survival to be present in everyday life. Xe want to build on the history of representing displaced narratives as it has been experienced for xem growing up a Catholic girl turned gender bender. i.n.k. insists on sifting through xyr grief to mold a future for xem and folks like itself that is rooted in fulfilling desire.
