A Short Bio:

Anthos (he/him) has been writing short stories ever since he could read. He discovered poetry thanks to his freshman English teacher. Much of Anthos's writing focuses on joy, belonging, mental illness, and his experiences as a queer person and Third Culture Kid (TCK). Anthos started off writing for myself, but now his hope is that his writing is able to help others.
