Michael Anthony

Died in 2023

Michael Anthony, born on 10 February 1930 in Mayaro, a coastal village in Trinidad (some sources say 1932), was the son of a labourer who dug trenches. After the village Catholic school and the technical college in San Fernando, he took manual jobs, published poems in the Trinidad Guardian and left in 1954 for England, where he was an editor at Reuters from 1964 to 1968 and wrote for BBC radio. After two years in diplomacy in Brazil, he returned in 1970, worked at the Ministry of Culture and became the historian of his country. He died in 2023.
