Summary
Bloomsbury presents Sonnets for Albert by Anthony Joseph, read by Anthony Joseph.
With Sonnets for Albert, Anthony Joseph returns to the autobiographical material explored in his earlier collection Bird Head Son. In this follow-up, he weighs the impact of being the son of an absent, or mostly absent, father, Though these poems threaten to break under the weight of their emotions, they are always masterfully poised as the stylish man they depict.
Critic reviews
"Possessing or possessed by requisite bearings, language and lore, Anthony Joseph is fully and beautifully up to the task." (Nathaniel Mackey)
"An exceptional talent." (Blake Morrison)
