Our Collection for October 24. Reasons why we chose this title: We are huge fans of Anthony Joseph's work. His previous collection, Sonnets for Albert, was such a glorious book, winning the TS Eliot Prize among various other accolades. Precious & Impossible is a deep dive into his earlier work along with some brand new poems, and is the perfect way to celebrate this astonishing poet! Our Collection of the Month will ALWAYS be a book that we absolutely LOVE. Precious & Impossible fits the bill perfectly!
 
Featuring exclusive new work, Precious and Impossible gathers together over three decades of poetry from the T S Eliot Prize-winning Anthony Joseph

A poet, musician and academic, Anthony Joseph's work has explored the transnational vibrations of the African Diaspora for over three decades.

Interwoven with fresh and exclusive new material, Precious and Impossible brings together thirty years of Joseph's poetry and lyrics - cementing his status as one of our greatest living poets and polymaths.

'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
