Dominic Anthony

Dominic Anthony (He/They) is a Black, queer poet with roots in Missouri and Arkansas. They learned the power of words through their grandmother who often said, “you have to be able to name a demon to cast them out”. Here, in the Black southern tradition of prayer, truth-telling, and conjure, is where their poetry is rooted. They attempt to name and bring to light the most human experiences in order to liberate themselves and the reader. You can read their work in publications such as Bible Belt Queers, Flava: Juneteenth Zine, and Beyond Queer Words: Queer Anthology.
