Kit Ingram

Kit Ingram is a queer Canadian writer based in London. His poetry has been multi-anthologised and appeared in magazines such as Ambit and Magma. Recent work of Kit's has been commended in the Ambit Annual Competition, shortlisted for the Bridport Prize, and longlisted for the National Poetry Competition.

In late 2021, he published Alice and Antius, an illustrated narrative poem, with Penrose Press. Booklife at Publishers Weekly described the work as a 'moving, gorgeous novel in verse [that] imagines the lives and minds of lovers facing a world ravaged by climate change.'

Raised in Calgary, Alberta, on the windswept foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Kit went on to graduate from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in philosophy. He now freelances as a storyteller working with various start-ups, creatives, and Indigenous-run businesses.

When he isn’t considering line breaks or the lives of his characters, you’ll find him playing with his golden retriever, Hugo, or cycling across English Heritage country with a smile on his face.
