Ankh Spice

Ankh Spice is a poet from Aotearoa New Zealand. He’s completely obsessed with the sea, and he insists that our natural environment and those old stories we don’t even know we know mingle in magical ways to shape the human beings we become – and that sometimes we’re allowed to notice it happening.

His poetry has been widely published over the last two years, with eight nominations for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. His poem ‘New Cloth’ was a joint winner of the Poetry Archive’s WorldView2020 competition, and he’s very proud that a video of him reading it (by the sea, where else?) got to live in perpetuity in the Archive.

He’s a co-editor at IceFloe Press, a poetry contributing editor at Barren Magazine, and his debut chapbook and full collection have been accepted by two different publishers, planned for release in late 2021 and in 2022.

He still can’t quite believe any of this is real life, but oh, he really wants to.
