Sean Ashton grew up in Norfolk, studying sculpture at the Royal College of Art. He now lives in London, teaches on the Fine Art course at Leeds Beckett University, and writes regularly on visual art. He is the author of the novel Living in a Land, a memoir written in sentences constructed in the negative, described by Darian Leader as ‘the funniest, most enjoyable thing I’ve read in years’. His poems and short stories have appeared in Poetry London, Magma, Poetry Salzburg Review, Artenol, Oxford Poetry and the philosophy journal Collapse.
In 2020, he assembled Sampler, a selection of entries from an encyclopaedia written entirely by poets, which was published by Valley Press.
