Synopsis

Poetry Book Society Recommendation

Shortlisted for both the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize 2013

Confer is a book between two cities – London and Paris – with detours via rural and small-town England, drunkenness and death camps in Bavaria, the American absurd and the lost libraries of the Roman Empire. It contains love and lust poems, variations on Baudelaire and conversations with Nietzsche and Auden.

This impressive debut collection by a young poet already well-known for his innovative, highly musical poetry draws its energy from an interplay between melody and intellect. Ahren Warner’s poems seek to amplify the effect of our common experiences and to attenuate the everyday within a matrix of philosophy and art, language and its intervals.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

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).
