February 1, 2024Saw him live and he blew my mind. If you can, get his book. Even better of course is to see him perform his pieces live.

⭐4.8 OUT OF 5 STARS⭐
Heterogeneous by Anthony Anaxagorou is an incredibly powerful poetry collection. I think everyone would benefit from reading this book! So many world issues were brought up in creative and beautiful yet also horrifying and brutally honest ways. The only critism I have is that a handful of the poems were a little long for my liking. Other than that, it was phenomonal!
