StokerCon® 2023

Anton Cancre

Cincinnati

Anton Cancre is waaaaaay too obsessed with all of the Silent Hill games, weirdo italian movies and poop. Hence, the poetry collections, THIS STORY DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT ALL THE TIME, MEANINGLESS CYCLES IN A VICIOUS GLASS PRISON and HAIPOO: 7 POOSPECTIVES IN POOETRY. They also run the Spec Griot Garage podcast (specgriotgarage.podbean.com) where they get to gush over other people's poems with cool folks.
