Johannes Anyuru (born 23 March 1979) is a Swedish poet and author.
Anyuru was born in Borås. [1] His father is from Uganda and his mother is Swedish. [2]
He debuted in 2003 with Det är bara gudarna som är nya (Only The Gods Are New), a poetry collection. In this collection of poems Anyuru used Homer's epic Iliad as a background and inspiration for the portrayal of immigrant neighborhoods. A place that is often mentioned in his poetry is the area around Mörners road in Växjö, where Anyuru lived as a child. [3] Reviews of this book linked his style to both older contemporary Swedish poets as Göran Sonnevi or Tomas Tranströmer, and hip hop band The Latin Kings. [4] Anyurus second poetry collection, Omega, is a much more downbeat since it deals with the loss of a close friend to cancer. [5] Anyurus third collection, Städerna inuti Hall (The Cities Inside Hall) [6] was published in 2009 and describes sad socio-political landscape.
