Critic reviews
Praise for Sonnets for Albert: After much silence and absence in life, the poet’s father is painstakingly restored in death in a book-length “calypso sonnet” sequence ... Sonnets for Albert movingly makes peace with his shade
A luminous collection which celebrates humanity in all its contradictions and breathes new life into this enduring form (TS ELIOT PRIZE JUDGES)
Possessing or possessed by requisite bearings, language and lore, Anthony Joseph is fully and beautifully up to the task (NATHANIEL MACKEY)
