Anne Clark (born 14 May 1960, Croydon, South London) is an English poet, spoken-word artist and songwriter whose career spans more than four decades. She emerged from London's post-punk scene in the early 1980s and built her reputation by setting recited poetry against electronic and new-wave backdrops - a combination that made her a pioneer of the spoken-word music genre, particularly in continental Europe. Her 1984 tracks "Our Darkness" and "Sleeper in Metropolis" remain her best-known works, and she has since released over a dozen albums ranging from synth-driven electronics to acoustic and neoclassical settings.
Anne Clark performed at the Amphi Festival in Cologne on 20 July 2025, sharing the bill with VNV Nation, Die Krupps and Suicide Commando.
Several dates on her 2025 'Together Again' tour sold out, including Oldenburg, Hannover and Mainz.
