Nathan Tinker
he/him | poet, interpreter, translator | Rochester, NY, United States
Nathan Tinker is a poet, interpreter, and translator. As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), much of his writing explores the complexities of growing up within and between the Deaf and hearing worlds. Drawing on ASL syntax, visual storytelling, and the conventions of ASL gloss, his poetry delves into themes of belonging, separation, and the struggles of navigating a precarious intercultural identity.
