Mission Statement

Ink & Marrow was brought forth out of the idea that creativity is carved on our bones and channeled deep in our marrow through a dark, painful, elusive force.

We seek out the work of poets and authors whose righteous agony can be felt through their art.

We embrace intersectionality as defined by professor Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989 as a way to describe how race, class, gender, and other individual characteristics “intersect” with one another and overlap. We acknowledge our own privileges while also condemning cis-heteronormative Eurocentric literary traditions, and focusing on the structural inequalities and overlapping oppressions that can impact writers.
