from Real Change 7/1/1999,
a profile of Elluage which was published with some of
his poems
E.O. Anthony, painter, photographer, and writer, is beloved around the
local literary community for his dogged support of others and his uncompromising
commitment to social issues.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Anthony originally moved to Seattle to study
architecture. "I reconstruct a different life [now]," he says, "writing."
Of the details of his life, Anthony says, "Because facts are relative
and open to interpretive spin, I would prefer to eliminate personal biography.
I'm on an oxygen machine and can still praise God by taking a photograph,
work at writing a play or poem... I'm just trying to be something other
than a consumer, satisfied if I can kick out a good poem and see the impact
of that."
Anthony participates regularly in StreetWrites writing group and reads
at Red Sky Poetry Theatre and other open mikes. He is currently working
on a second novel, May Ling's Shopping Cart.
