*Kit Ingram is a poet and writer based in South London. His work – exploring themes of identity, love, violence, and liberation – has been widely anthologised and featured in Ambit, Magma, Acumen, Poetry Ireland Review, and The North. His recent poetry has been commended in the Ambit Annual Competition, shortlisted for the Out-Spoken Prize, and twice longlisted for the National Poetry Competition.

In 2022, he published Alice and Antius, an illustrated narrative poem with Penrose Press. BookLife by Publishers Weekly described it as a ‘moving, gorgeous novel in verse [that] imagines the lives and minds of lovers facing a world ravaged by climate change.’ His debut UK poetry collection, Aqueous Red – a Poetry Book Society Choice – was published by Broken Sleep Books on 31 October 2023.

Originally from Calgary, Canada, Kit grew up on the windswept foothills of the Rocky Mountains before earning an Honours BA in Philosophy from the University of Toronto. He later completed an MA in Creative Writing at Royal Holloway, studying under Lavinia Greenlaw.

When not refining line breaks or developing his characters, Kit can be found playing with his golden retriever or hurrying through London’s streets like ‘an unstoppable cappuccino.’
