'A kaleidoscope of image and word-power . . . A vital addition to the canon' MAGGIE HARRIS
'A work of rare formal daring and spiritual depth' PETER GIZZI

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, New York, 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.©2026 Anthony Joseph (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Collections & Anthologies European Poetry World Literature

Critic reviews

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 (ROGER ROBINSON)
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 (ALI ALIZADEH)
Possessing or possessed by requisite bearings, language and lore, Anthony Joseph is fully and beautifully up to the task (NATHANIEL MACKEY)
