Anthony Joseph

Stroud Book Festival Guest Poet 2024

a bold brass bee/stares me through my shades/zips/and flits/stares me again/maybe he writes poetry.  

One of the poetry highlights of the autumn, “Precious and Impossible: Selected Poems” brings together thirty years of poetry and lyrics by the TS Eliot Prize-winning poet, Anthony Joseph 

Featuring exclusive new poems alongside those previously published, it’s a collection astonishingly rich in form and voice and musicality, reminding us that Trinidad-born Joseph is also a novelist and a musician, with four critically acclaimed albums to his name.
