Anton Krueger was the first English poetry editor for Litnet and from 1997- 2001, was part of the "Bekgeveg" team performing monthly at venues all over Pretoria and Johannesburg, as well as at the Klein Karoo Kunstefees and Aardklop festivals. Poems from this era were published in the anthology Six of the Best (1998, Poets Press). He was invited to perform at Poetry Africa in 2008 and in 2023. His first anthology, Everyday Anomalies appeared in 2011 (Aerial) and in the same year his poem “Nine Notes on Lisbon” was a runner up for the Dalro poetry prize. Over the last few years, Anton has been experimenting with improvised spoken word collaborations with a variety of musicians and DJs, including Tony Bentel and Francois le Roux (the HA! man). Anton has also published plays, memoir, short stories, criticism and arts journalism. He lives in Makhanda where he heads the Department of Literary Studies in English at Rhodes University. Still, Anton considers himself an amateurist, inspired by love rather than profit, gift instead of commodity. Selections from Everybody is a Bridge have been performed in collaboration with improvisations on piano by Paul Hanmer.
