Haunting the Black Air
Autor Anthony Josephen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iul 2026
'An exceptional talent' BLAKE MORRISON
From the T. S. Eliot Prize-winning author of Sonnets for Albert comes a dextrous and versatile new collection spanning the emotional spectrum of unabashed joy and crippling grief
With musicality and verve, beloved poet and musician Anthony Joseph undertakes a bold new work, excavating the complex nature of feeling. Across London, Los Angeles, Trinidad and beyond, whether a funeral in New Cross or a house party in Mount Lambert, Joseph brings heart, soul and verbal ingenuity to the act of unifying life's beautiful fragments.

Recenzii
If Mikhail Bulgakov and Ishmael Reed had a godson in Trinidad raised on Rapso and John Coltrane solos then what you'd get is Anthony Joseph
Joseph is both a faithful heir and an agnostic rebel; a Black poet haunted by Africa's past as well as a bilingual post-modernist amused by the possibilities of the future
Possessing or possessed by requisite bearings, language and lore, Anthony Joseph is fully and beautifully up to the task
After much silence and absence in life, the poet's father is painstakingly restored in death in a book-length "calypso sonnet" sequence ... Sonnets for Albert movingly makes peace with his shade
A luminous collection which celebrates humanity in all its contradictions and breathes new life into this enduring form
