Henry Anastasi

Henry Anastasi is an Australian poet whose writing is shaped by a life lived across Malta, New Zealand, and Australia. The youngest of a large family, he developed a love for storytelling and imagination early on, with his writing first published during his high school years in New Zealand.After moving to Australia in 1990, Henry spent over 30 years working in the disability sector, an experience that deeply informed his empathy and creative voice. He also discovered a strong connection with the Deaf community through his ability to communicate in Auslan. Alongside writing, he has competed in table tennis in both New Zealand and Australia, representing New South Wales.Fragments of Elsewhere, published in three volumes, is his debut work.
