In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman sit down with Anthony Payton, a freelance writer, podcast host, and motivational speaker. Anthony is a regular columnist for the Common Ground Initiative at the Granite State News Collaborative and its partner Manchester Ink Link and co-host of the Lock and Key Podcast. Anthony was also a featured speaker at TEDx Amoskeag Millyard in 2023. Anthony’s writing is often centered on his own history with incarceration — he describes writing as a way to stay out of the dark abyss while in prison. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Anthony walks us through his journey to New Hampshire and to prison and the role writing and creativity has always played in his life. Anthony primarily writes creative nonfiction and strives to be sometimes humorous and always insightful.
