Camille Ralphs (born 1992) is an English poet, critic and editor.[1] Her first collection of poems, After You Were, I Am, was published by Faber & Faber in 2024[2] to critical acclaim.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Life and Career
[edit]Ralphs was born in Stoke-on-Trent and studied at the universities of Lancaster, Cambridge, and Oxford.[14]
Her first collection of poems, After You Were, I Am, was a book of the year in The Telegraph[15][16] and The Guardian,[17] and was widely reviewed elsewhere. In the London Review of Books, Ange Mlinko wrote that "Ralphs's talent for subsuming her ego in her subjects may have something to do with her Catholic upbringing, her theological studies or pure instinct. Whichever it is, it gives her a gravitas few think to look for anymore."[18] The US edition of After You Were, I Am will be published by McSweeney's in September 2025.[19]
Ralphs' poems have appeared in magazines and periodicals including ArtReview,[20] The New York Review of Books,[21] and The Poetry Review,[22] and she has written essays and reviews for venues including the Los Angeles Review of Books,[23] Poetry,[24] and Poetry London.[25]
Since 2020 Ralphs has been poetry editor at The Times Literary Supplement,[26] where she is the first woman to hold that role.[27]
