Ed Luker
Ed Luker is a writer based in London. Working across fiction, poetry, and criticism, his writing is an ardent and dramatic attempt to love the world and the people in it — in the face of its contradictions and complications.
He has recently written about anti-narrative in Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest for MUBI, the novel and self-improvement for Tank Magazine, the paintings of Nicole Eisenmann for Plinth, as well as interviewing the poet Holly Pester about her debut novel, and the critic Anahid Nersessian about her book on Keats.
He has published two full length collections of poetry to date: Heavy Waters on The 87 Press (2019) and Other Life on Broken Sleep Books (2021). With Jo Walton, he is the co-editor of Poetry and Work (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019). His poetry has been published broadly in magazines and online. Have a search.
Over the last five years he has turned his hand to crafting stories of various forms. He is currently writing his first novel, a script for a play, a TV series, and a third collection of poems. He is currently working as a senior copywriter.
In between agents, he is looking for representation.
He writes semi-regularly on his substack Below Deck. He is also on Twitter, Instagram, and Linktree.
