Global InformationAnthony Etherin information
Anthony Etherin (born 2 September 1981) is a British experimental formal poet and publisher for the imprint Penteract Press. He is known for his use of strict, often combinatorial, literary restrictions, most notably palindromes,[1] anagrams, and aelindromes, a restriction of his own invention. He also composes constraint-based music,[2] and hosts The Penteract Podcast.
Etherin seeks to promote literary constraints as poetic tools rather than just word games, and sees constraints as part of the same tradition as fixed poetry forms, saying that palindromes “possess innate poetic value, in the elegance of their abstract symmetry.”[3]
