His debut full-length collection, Angels the Size of Houses, is released with Shearsman in July 2021. Gillian Clarke said, of his poetry, 'Every poem is a dizzy word-dazzle, a dance of images, expressing a real life of work, babies, love and loss.' - Gillian Clarke. Andrew McMillan called it 'Poetry that vibrates on its own frequency, and invites the reader into its own surreal soundscapes.' JH Prynne called his work 'Unicorn Flavoured' and Vahni Capildeo said 'Aaron Kent’s pages made me experience, for the first time ever in my reading, the spaces between words as rips in fabric that let skin show through in its bruised and tender luminosity'.
