As most people have said it means 'Anonymous'. However it doesn't necessarily mean that the author is unknown. 'Anon' is sometimes used where the author cannot be traced by the publisher, generally used on works older than 50 years, where there are no royalties payable. In later editions the author's name may be mentioned if, by then, it has been located.

anonymous, meaning the poet wished to remain unknown. when i was younger i was in an English lesson an said ''how come so many of these poems are written by the poet anon?'' never lived it down!

More than likely the poet can't be traced. Maybe the poem is so old no-one knows who originally wrote it.
Anon. would mean anonymous.

Anonymous - no-one knows who wrote the poem.

anon means anonymous. the writer wants its identity revealed.

this tell you that the publisher does not know who the person was that actually wrote the poem. NOT NAMED POET

i think that it means -Anonymous. Because no one really knows the name of the person who wrote the poem.
just my opinion. hope this helps.
