This is a portrait of a very talented poet, Anthony Anaxagorou, whom we saw and listened to, at the Bradford Literature Festival last weekend. He was commissioned to write a modern day piece inspired by Dante’s Inferno from the Divine Comedy. Breathtaking. We also heard him read other of his works at a Poetry slam where several other poets read including the mighty Linton Kwesi Johnson.
A wonderful experience.
Can’t say I know of him – I shall see what I can find on the old interweb thingy!
Oh do Chris. He is a really powerful poet.
I watched/listened to a couple on poems on-line Strong stuff and he has real charisma. Thanks.
