"These poems fly by the seat of their images and carry the reader into new precints: permission granted to read deeply and associatively, and to reconsider the "shoulds" of poetry.

It has always been the variant, wild, serious voices that have gifted us, Yaeger's writing is just such a gift.”  -Kate Knapp Johnson, author, Wind Somewhere, and Time

Antony Yaeger was born in the fishing village of Altea, Spain. He grew up on Bainbridge Island, WA and went to college at Sarah Lawrence College, NY.  While in college, Antony became the last, and youngest, poet to read his poetry at the birthplace of Walt Whitman on Long Island, NY.  A certified Waldorf teacher, Antony has taught poetry, drama, photography and Shakespeare, as well as directed school plays. The poet recently completed his MFA in Poetry from Sarah Lawrence College, NY and currently teaches at Oak Meadow School in Vermont while living in Bronxville, NY.
