A poetry workshop with poet and QMUL Lecturer in Creative Writing Rachael Allen

I was born and grew up in Cornwall, moving to London to study English Literature at Goldsmiths University. There, I started an event and anthology series, which developed into a small press. I have been publishing ever since, working for a decade at the literary quarterly Granta Magazine, and publishing a poetry list for Granta Books. I am now an editor at Fitzcarraldo Editions. My doctoral research at the University of Hull identified an anglophone, feminist lyric emerging in the Anthropocene. My collection of poems Kingdomland was published in 2019, and God Complex, my second collection, was published in 2024, both by Faber and Faber.
