Having been displaced from their family as infants via closed private transnational adoption, the bodies of matthew and his twin were purchased, & trafficked into a sundown town.

matthew’s work is rooted in a lovegrief which persists, and is wholly interested and invested in co-creating Black (Adoptee) Futures wherein we are not under siege by those who claim Whiteness.

matthew anthony is a Afro-Surrealist theopoet , essayist, & host of little did u know: an abolitionist podcast that seeks to reveal the precarity inherent in transnational/racial adoption and dream of a new future by centering the voices of impacted people.

matthew’s collection, You Can Not Burn The Sun, is now available in our store for digital download.
