Anya was born and grew up in England and now lives in Sweden. Alongside a career as a dancer, choreographer and cultural developer, Anya has always had a pencil and paper close at hand. Scribbles, ideas, poems and short stories have created piles around her work space, these occasionally being assembled into some kind of order. Her interest in language has also led to her doing translations from Swedish to English for cultural figures and institutions, including audio description for performance. In 2013, Anya collected together some of her poems from the period 1994–1998, and published them under the title “Mrs. Petty’s Laundry”. In 2022 she published her first novel, the global thriller mystery “WATCH but don’t TOUCH”.

Poetry Collection
A poem collection full of strong character sketches that put our daily lives into an intuitive and otherworldly context. From a fondness for the naffer side of life to an appreciation of the complex weave of ancient voices and contemporary living that is England; from alphabetic games to a simple declaration of love, Mrs. Petty’s Laundry is full of everyday situations that turn into everything but the everyday.
