Her collection of poetry You Will Not Know in Advance What You'll Feel was published in 2019 with Rabbit Poets Series and shortlisted for the Mary Gilmore Award (2020). She is co-author of Practising with Deleuze (Edinburgh University Press, 2017)."Antonia Pont's achievement in this book is difficult to quickly summarise. This is a thinking-through practicing, displaying an extremely sensitivity to its manifold complexities; a meticulous, illuminating and fresh working-through of Gilles Deleuze's baroque philosophy of time; a consideration of rest and posture, injury and pain in their proper texture Pont does not simply reconstruct that familiar bridge between the clich of blind practice and sovereign, panoptic philosophy. In place of application, this astonishing book instead presents a weaving, an intertwining, in the course of which the discrete places of philosophy and practice are themselves undone and redone over and over again, their original names lost in the difficult joy of their ceaseless transformation." -Jon Roffe, Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy
