Haunting the Black Air

'Joseph is both a faithful heir and an agnostic rebel' ALI ALIZADEH

'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, 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.
