Ink Cloud returned this year with more participation than it has seen in years. With 28 contributors and 60 pages of passionate content, the talented poets and artists of Fort Wayne and Warsaw Ivy Tech campuses collectively created a stirring and thoughtful representation of our city and college.
It was a privilege to compile their work into this year’s edition. Prefaced beautifully by Sumita Chakraborty in the epigraph, their expressions and artistry memorably mark our shared experiences. Please take some time to appreciate their artistry, vulnerability and strength.
Alive at the End of the World, All the Dangerous Things, All the Flowers Kneeling, Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail, Bandit Queens, Brotherless Night, Cursed Bunny, Demon Copperhead, Edge of the Plain, Hell Bent, Immense World, Light Pirate, No Choice, Not Light But Fire, Rest Is Resistance, Seven Empty Houses, Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, Shuna’s Journey, Stay Woke, Stolen Heir, Stolen Justice, Sundown Towns, Without a Trace, World Keeps Ending and the World Goes on
It is my pleasure to present this year’s edition of Ink Cloud. Our humble thanks goes to the students, staff and faculty who contributed. We’re all better for your vulnerability and strength.
Our collective voices can provide clarity when shared as art. To me, Ink Cloud 2022 tells the story of hardship and the renewal we inescapably discover by persevering together.
Please take a moment to read the work generously provided by the talented artists of Ivy Tech Fort Wayne and Warsaw campuses. All editions of Ink Cloud can be found here.
It has been a pleasure to again help share the poetry and art of our Ivy Tech peers. While participation this year was down, the work of those who were able to share compelled us to publish another edition. Please consider taking some time to visit the Ink Cloud archive. There you will find this year’s iteration added to our growing collection.

It is my pleasure to present to you Ink Cloud 2020. It has been a gift during quarantine to put this edition together for those who were able to participate.
Please take a few moments to enjoy the transformative effects of art created by Ivy Tech students, faculty and staff. We do not typically receive much traffic on this blog, but if you do stop by and one of these poets or artists reaches you, please let them know in the comments!
Let’s give everyone a reason to keep creating and sharing.
