Peter Nicholas Anastas, Jr. was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts in 1937. He attended local schools, graduating in 1955 from Gloucester High School, where he edited the school newspaper and was president of the National Honor Society. His father Panos Anastas, a restaurateur, was born in Sparta, Greece in 1899, and his mother, Catherine Polisson, was born in Gloucester of native Greek parents, in 1910. His brother, Thomas Jon “Tom” Anastas, a jazz musician, arranger and composer, was born in Gloucester, in 1939, and died in Boston, in 1977. 

Anastas attended Bowdoin College, in Brunswick, Maine, on scholarship, majoring in English and minoring in Italian, philosophy and classics. While at Bowdoin, he wrote for the student newspaper, the Bowdoin Orient, and was editor of the college literary magazine, the Quill. In 1958, he was named Bertram Louis, Jr. Prize Scholar in English Literature, and in 1959 he was awarded first and second prizes in the Brown Extemporaneous Essay Contest and selected as a commencement speaker (his address was on “The Artist in the Modern World.”) During his summers in college, Anastas edited the Cape Ann Summer Sun, published by the Gloucester Daily Times, and worked on the waterfront in Gloucester.

After graduating from Bowdoin in 1959, Anastas lived in Florence, Italy until 1962, where he studied medieval literature at the University of Florence and taught English at the International Academy. While in Florence, Anastas worked as an interpreter-translator at the university’s Institute for Physical Chemistry. His translation of Prof. Giorgio Piccardi’s The Chemical Basis of Medical Climatology, was published in the U.S. in 1962.

Returning to Gloucester in 1962, Anastas taught English at Rockport High School and Winchester (MA) Senior High School before winning a graduate teaching fellowship to Tufts University, where he studied English and American literature, receiving a master’s degree in 1967 with a thesis on the concept of place in the works of Henry David Thoreau.

Between 1967 and 1972, Anastas worked as a free-lance writer, publishing his first book, Glooskap’s Children: Encounters with the Penobscot Indians of Maine (Beacon Press, 1973). As a result of his experience of poverty in rural Maine, in 1972 Anastas joined the staff of Action, Inc., Gloucester’s antipoverty agency, where for thirty years he was a social worker and Director of Advocacy & Housing. For twenty years, between 1972-1992, he was also an adjunct faculty member at North Shore Community College, where he taught English composition and English and American literature. During these years Anastas continued to write and publish, contributing a weekly column, “This Side of the Cut,” to the Gloucester Daily Times (1978-1990) and publishing When Gloucester Was Gloucester: Toward an Oral History of the City (with Peter Parsons), Siva Dancing, a memoir, Landscape with Boy, a novella in the Boston University Fiction Series, and Maximus to Gloucester, an edition of the letters and poems of Charles Olson to the editor of the Gloucester Times. In 2002, At the Cut, his memoir of growing up in Gloucester in the 1940s, was published by Dogtown Books; and in 2004 Glad Day Books, founded by authors Grace Paley and Robert Nichols, published Broken Trip, a novel-in-stories set in Gloucester during the 1980s. No Fortunes, a novel set at Bowdoin in the late 1950s, was published in 2005, followed by Decline of Fishes, a novel set in Gloucester during the 1990s. In 2013, Lost & Found Books at CUNY Graduate Center, NYC co-published A Walker in the City: Elegy for Gloucester, a selection from Anastas’ newspaper columns in the Gloucester Times.

Anastas has also published fiction and non-fiction in Niobe, The Falmouth Review, Stations, Bezoar, America One, North Shore Magazine, Essex Life, Maine Times, Mostly Maine, The Larcom Review, Polis, Split Shift, Café Review, Sulfur, Process, Gaff 2, House Organ, Minutes of the Charles Olson Society, Dispatches from the Poetry Wars, Beat Scene, Art/New England, and ArchitectureBoston. Anastas’ blog, A Walker in the City, may be found at: http://peteranastas.blogspot.com/

Anastas was married to Dr. Jeane Wiener Anastas in 1964 (divorced in 1972) with whom he had three children, Jonathan, a musician and marketing executive in Los Angeles, Rhea, an art historian and writer, currently teaching UC Irvine, and Benjamin, a writer, who has published two novels and a memoir, and is a member of the Literature Faculty at Bennington College. After retiring from social work in 2002 to devote his full time to writing, Anastas lived with his partner Judith Winslow Walcott, a retired teacher and reading specialist, at 9 Page Street, in Gloucester.

Peter Anastas died peacefully at Seacoast Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on December 27th, 2019. In his last days, he was surrounded by his family, close friends, and the Gloucester people he so loved.

The collection contains personal and professional correspondence, published and unpublished manuscripts of Anastas’ novels, memoirs, short stories, articles, essays, and newspaper columns, including drafts, final copies, proofs, notes and published editions; educational materials; biographical information; news clippings; and photographs and audio tapes relating to Glooskap’s Children and the oral history of Gloucester. It documents primarily his writing career but also contains material relating to his teaching and professional life, and his friendships with Gloucester historian Joseph E. Garland, and poets Vincent Ferrini and Charles Olson. The collection also includes holograph copies of the journals Anastas kept since his college days, documenting his reading, writing, personal and professional life, and his years of public service and community activism in Gloucester. In addition, this collection contains two boxes (#25 and #26) of musical scores, arrangements and compositions by Thomas Jon “Tom” Anastas.
