A stunningly crafted debut short story collection, The Blink That
Kills the Eye takes a poetic torch to the shadows of daily life,
illuminating the characters, situations, emotions and dilemmas that
pour into even the most ordinary existences. From building sites to
prison cells... from the birth of love to the last moments of
breath... poet Anthony Anaxagorou expertly navigates through the
tangled nets of invisibility, desperation and power to bring us
time-defining tales of tragedy and hope - commenting on the irony
of our shrinking capacity to really see ourselves or each other in
a world increasingly defined by appearances and dangerous
preconceptions. While each story stands affectingly on its own,
Anaxagorou also weaves an affecting chronology, the lives of the
characters overlapping and intertwining as they develop
individually. Exploring themes of invisibility, alienation, abuse,
and loss, this brave and touching short story collection shows the
poet-educator at his soul-stirring best.
