Poet,
musician and lecturer Anthony Joseph is a
major representative of the Black British avant-garde. His spectacular
poetry
performances – it would be wrong to speak of a poetry
‘reading’ – have become
legendary in Britain and abroad. Joseph will pay a visit to the
University of
Vienna as part of a tour of Europe to present his brand new poetry
collection Bird
Head Son.
Anthony
Joseph was born in Trinidad and has lived in
the UK since 1989. He is the author of three poetry collections, Desafinado
(1994), Teragaton (1997) and Bird Head Son
(2009), a spoken-word
CD Liquid Textology and a novel The
African Origins of UFOs
published to widespread critical acclaim by Salt Publishing in November
2006.
In
2004 Joseph was selected by the Arts Council
of England for the historic Great Day photo as one of fifty Black and
Asian
writers who have made major contributions to contemporary British
literature
and in 2005 he was selected as the British Council’s first
Poet in residence at
California State University, Los Angeles. |
