Ahren Warner has published four books of poetry with Bloodaxe. His debut, Confer (2011), was shortlisted for both the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize 2013, and followed by Pretty (2013) and by Hello. Your promise has been extracted (2017), which was shortlisted for the Roehampton Poetry Prize 2018. His fourth collection, I’m totally killing your vibes, was published in 2022. His collections have received three Poetry Book Society Recommendations and awards including an Arts Foundation Fellowship. He works across writing, photography and moving image, with an intermedia project, The sea is spread and cleaved and furled published by Prototype in 2020, and a film – I’m thinking what would sound sincere but also, like, oh, that’s super cute, selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2020).
