Anne Anthony

Anne Anthony credits her steady diet of comic books for her ardent belief in superpowers. Her gritty, tender, and amusing stories feature compelling, but flawed humans with bursts of superhero traits. She delights in unmasking the extraordinary in ordinary life. Her career spans the fields of social work, technical writing, clinical law school education, and software project management.

Her fiction, essays, and poetry have been published in Flash Boulevard, Prime Magazine, A Quiet Courage, Longleaf Review, Blue Heron Review, Poetry South, and other literary journals. Her poem, She Wants, published by Blue Heron Review, was nominated for a 2018 Pushcart Award. Her micro-fiction, It’s a Mother Thing, was nominated for Best Microfiction 2024 by Cleaver Magazine. She is a senior editor and art director for the online literary journal, Does It Have Pockets.

She lives in Carrboro, North Carolina with her husband and her feisty dog, Clara.
