Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot prizeA Poetry Society RecommendationA Guardian Poetry Book of the YearOne of The Telegraph's Best Poetry Books of 2019A knife is pulled. An Uber driver is racially abused on the day of the Brexit referendum. A father bathes his son in ice water. A schoolboy drives a drawing pin into a map of the world. The threat of violence is never far away in Anthony Anaxagorou's breakthrough collection After the Formalities. Technically achieved, emotionally transformative and razor-sharp, these are poems that confront and contradict; poems in which the scholarly synthesises with the streetwise, and global histories are told through the lens of one family.Anaxagorou 'speaks against the darkness', tracking the male body under pressure from political and historical forces, and celebrates the precarious joy of parenthood. The title poem is a meditation on racism and race science that draws on the poet's Cypriot heritage and is as uncomfortable as it is virtuosic. Elsewhere, in a sequence of prose poems that shimmer with lyric grace, he writes, 'I'm your father & the only person keeping you alive.'

Tackling conflicts both internal and external, The Blink That Killed the Eye is a moving reflection on how those rendered invisible by society struggle to regain control over their lives.While each story stands affectingly on its own, Anthony Anaxagorou also weaves an affecting chronology - the lives of the characters overlapping and intertwining as they develop individually.Exploring themes of invisibility, alienation, abuse, and loss, this brave and touching short story collection shows the poet-playwright at his soul-stirring best.

WINNER OF THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE 2023What does it mean to have heritage, and how do we perform or undo it?In these daring and sonorous poems, Anaxagorou conducts a researched unpacking of two countries whose dividing lines of a colonial past are still visible and felt. Uniquely engaged with the complexities of Cyprus and the diasporic experience, these poems map both an island's public history alongside a person's private reckoning. They offer a ferocious and uncompromising look towards the damaging historical structures that have led to now. Fearless, intensely honest and hopeful, Heritage Aesthetics merges Anthony's gift for performance and his brilliant experimentation with form to create a vivid insistence to communicate a self in the world.
